2026 CSEA 129 Strawberry Social

Welcome to the 2026 CSEA Strawberry Social! 🍓💙

Join CSEA Chapter 129 for a fun-filled evening at the Santa Maria Elks Lodge as we celebrate Classified School Employee Week (CSEW) and honor the incredible classified employees who help keep our schools running every single day.

Enjoy a night of great food, music, laughter, community, and celebration as we recognize the hard work, dedication, and heart of our classified professionals throughout Santa Maria-Bonita School District.

Each May, California celebrates Classified School Employee Week to recognize the vital contributions of classified school employees. Established in 1986 through California Senate Bill 1552, CSEW honors the frontline employees who support students, staff, schools, and families every day behind the scenes and on the front lines.

“Classified School Employee Week is when our colleagues and community honor our hard work and dedication to our students,” said Association President Adam Weinberger. “We are used to working behind the scenes, but this is our time to be celebrated!”

From classrooms and cafeterias to maintenance, technology, health services, and district offices, classified employees are essential members of the educational community and make a lasting impact in the lives of students.

We look forward to celebrating with you on Saturday, May 23, 2026, at the Santa Maria Elks Lodge. Don’t miss this special evening dedicated to YOU!
