The Almanac Holiday Fund is kicking off this week, raising money to support local nonprofits that serve children, families and individuals in our community.
A Silicon Valley philanthropist has made the largest-ever donation to the Almanac Holiday Fund and the Palo Alto Weekly Holiday Fund: $350,000, shared by the two charitable programs.
Chana s experience, commitment to teaching the whole child, and alignment with our mission and learner profile is a great fit for Oak Knoll, said Payton-Miyazaki in a statement. She has all the things we were looking for and we are incredibly lucky to have this opportunity to hire her.

Stewart will bring her wealth of experience from a neighboring community, in which many district students reside, to the team as MPCSD strives to serve every student equitably, officials said.
Stewart has authored publications and presentations, and engaged in research and volunteerism in various aspects of education, from implementing next-generation science standards to social-emotional learning to creating culturally responsive school communities, according to the press release.
