Why I Give

Why I Give: The Cruz Rodriguez Family

Sonoma Academy ha formado parte de nuestra vida desde que nuestra hija Viviana (’26) se propuso como meta ingresar a esta maravillosa escuela y logró su meta. Es una escuela con mucha diversidad, buenos principios, muy acogedora y de calidad. Es una escuela auténtica y muy diferente a otras escuelas; el personal hace sentir a los estudiantes seguros y se aseguran para que cada uno de ellos se encuentren bien en todos los aspectos. Los maestros son excepcionales porque son muy entusiastas para enseñar, nunca repiten la misma lección y esto hace que los estudiantes se motiven cada día.
 
Para mi hija el deporte es muy importante en su vida y ella ha ganado mucha confianza en sí misma gracias a sus entrenadores y los entrenamientos que SA imparte. Gracias a las donaciones de personas generosas, los equipos tienen los uniformes adecuados para cada deporte y pueden viajar a sus respectivos partidos.

SA es única porque les da la oportunidad a los estudiantes de ser mejores no solo académicamente sino personalmente ya que gracias a los exploratorios y las clases de intersesión les da una nueva visión en sus vidas y esto no se lograría sin las donaciones.
 
El donar a SA para nosotros como familia es dar un granito de arena para contribuir por todo el gran trabajo que hacen por nuestros hijos para que tengan la oportunidad de explorar varias facetas en los 4 años de educación en SA: Académicamente, deportivamente, artísticamente y culturalmente, de una forma única y especial, lo cual todo eso les ayuda para prepararlos para su futuro.

Sonoma Academy has been a part of our lives since our daughter, Viviana Cruz Rodriguez '26, set herself the goal of getting into such a great school–and she did. It is a diverse, welcoming school of high quality, with strong principles. It is an authentic school–and very different from other schools. The staffulty ensure that students feel safe and look out for the well-being of each and every one. The teachers are exceptional because they are very enthusiastic to teach, they never repeat the same lesson and this keeps the students motivated every day.
 
For our daughter, sport is very important in her life and she has gained a lot of confidence in herself thanks to her coaches and the training that SA provides. Thanks to the donations of generous people, the teams have the right uniforms for each sport and are able to travel to their respective games.
 
SA is unique because it gives students the opportunity to be better not only academically but personally because thanks to the exploratory and intersession classes it gives them a new vision in their lives and this would not be possible without donations.
 
Donating to SA for us as a family is giving a grain of sand to contribute for all the great work SA does for our children. They have the opportunity to explore various facets that SA offers them in their four years of education: academically, athletically, artistically, and culturally, in a unique and special way, which all help to prepare them for their future.
