Members of the Silicon Valley Association of REALTORS® (SILVAR) Palo Alto District celebrated a successful Partners in Education Campaign this year and renewed their support for the Palo Alto School District.

REALTORS® and affiliates of SILVAR's Palo Alto District presented the Palo Alto Unified School District (PAUSD) with a check for $40,025 from their successful Palo Alto REALTORS® Campaign for Partners in Education (PIE) on Wednesday, Oct. 22.

Michael Hall, a REALTOR® with Alain Pinel Realtors and chair of SILVAR's Palo Alto REALTOR® Campaign for Partners in Education, thanked the 81 individual donors and 10 affiliates and brokers who contributed to the campaign. Hall acknowledged the schools and teachers, the parents and students who have strived to live up to high standards.

"The REALTOR® community is proud to make this contribution," said Hall. "We are very proud of the high quality of education in the Palo Alto schools. As REALTORS®, we value the contributions the schools make. As REALTORS® we learn the value of our business rests with the schools. Sellers reap the value of their investment and that is true even now. We thank the schools and teachers, parents and students, who are the hope of our future. We thank Partners in Education for their efforts to build great schools.

Partners in Education President Lois Garland thanked SILVAR members for their donation and annual support. She said, "It is so gratifying to have your support. The end result is the students get better and better."
