Lowell Fund
Our online fundraising drive is underway, but we've only reached about 15% of our goal with only 50 families contributing. Your generosity makes a difference! You can set up a recurring monthly payment, and many companies will even offer donation matching. Our fundraising goal of over $300,000 this year is higher than in previous years because we are funding staffing hours to keep the library open beyond the hours our staff librarian is available (in past years we’ve had an additional librarian, a role that was cut by SFUSD this year - see our proposed SY25-26 budget). Please give generously! See details on our fundraising page.

Seeking Silent Auction Donations for Bird Bash 2026!

VOLUNTEER

• Senior Boat Dance
  We need chaperones for SBoat (the senior dance that’s on a boat in the Bay!) You can see details and express interest here. Please help us keep costs low so we don’t have to pay for staff to chaperone.
• American Student Exchange Project
  Long-time history teacher (since 1998!) Mr. Worth has brought to Lowell a new organization called the American Student Exchange Project. It pays for recently graduated seniors to spend a week during the summer living with and learning about another part of the US. We will host six to twelve students from other parts of the US for a week next summer (June 10th-17th) and send six to twelve Lowell seniors to other parts of the US. We are looking for:
  1. A Lowell parent or community member to volunteer to be a homestay coordinator.
  2. Lowell families willing to be host families. There is a stipend.
  3. Businesses which could allow visiting students to visit them.
  For more info. or to volunteer, please contact Mr. Worth.
• Bird Bash Venue
  We need help finding a venue for Bird Bash, soliciting businesses for donations, and organizing other fundraising activities! This year, we aim to raise over $305,000, which is higher than previous years because we are funding staffing hours to keep the library open (making up for SFUSD budget cuts), as well as supporting student organizations and college readiness events.
  We have many tasks/projects that you can do from home at your own time. We meet every other Wednesday on Zoom. Don't worry if you can't attend our meetings, because we also have a Group Chat! Please sign up to help out via this Google Form.
• Fundraising Committee
  One of our committee chairs had to step down unexpectedly. We have a returning student co-chair and one new parent committed, but could use more help on the committee.  Please email [email protected]
• Assembly and setup of the new treadmill in our weight room
  Looking for 2 parents for ~2-3 hours (this can be during or after school, including weekends) - please contact Mr Doherty: [email protected]
• One of our planters needs help
  Plants died due to lack of drainage and likely needs excavating to remedy the issue. Looking for 3-4 parents for ~6 hours  (this can be during or after school, including weekends) - please contact Mr Doherty [email protected]​
