WOODLAND HILLS : Fair to Help Buy Air Conditioners
Serrania Avenue Elementary School students will have a chance to dunk their principal next month at the Woodland Hills school’s fund-raising fair to raise money for air conditioning for summer-scorched classrooms.
The Second Annual Fun Fair on May 2, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., will feature magicians, a trackless train, a petting zoo and a student talent show, said Marian Fortunati, school principal.
The school needs $48,000 to air condition seven classrooms. The school already raised $10,000 from a school walk-a-thon last year and a spell-a-thon early this year. Another $15,000 would allow the school to air condition at least four classrooms, Fortunati said. Last year’s fair raised $30,000, which paid for air conditioning in four classrooms.
August and September are the hottest months, Fortunati said, with temperatures in the classrooms sometimes reaching more than 90 degrees.
