The wish list at Atherton’s Selby Lane School includes five laptop computers, a label maker, 10 used DVD players, 60 white board markers and a selection of roll-on paints.

The Selby Education Foundation, the fundraising group for the K-8 school, is seeking a total of $10,000 in tax-deductible donations in cash, gift certificates or stock to address the school’s material needs. To see the complete wish list, go to www.selbyeducationfoundation.org/fund.html.

Selby Lane School is located at 170 Selby Lane in Atherton but is part of the Redwood City School District. Sixty-nine percent of the students receive federal assistance in the free-or-reduced-price-lunch program and 59 percent live in households where the primary language is not English, according to the state Department of Education.

Standardized test scores for the school show steady progress over the last four years.

For more information, contact Julie Anne Mickelson at pr@selbyeducationfoundation.org. Checks should be made out to Selby Education Foundation (SEF) at 50 Woodside Plaza Suite 513, Redwood City, CA 94061.
