Attn: LVUSD Families – Please give a little time to help save teachers this month! Thank you for supporting THE Foundation for Las Virgenes Schools through participation in THE Event and the direct mail campaign. As you know, 14 teachers will not be returning next year, and it would be wonderful to save some of those positions. So far, the “Are You In?” mail campaign has done very well, however we need to follow it up with a few days of phone banking to reach out to even more of the community. The calls will take place from the District Office (4111 N. Las Virgenes Rd.) on May 14th-16th, 20th, 21st and 23rd. All volunteers will be provided with scripts, info, food, and a fun time working together to help OUR schools. I know that if we reach enough community members, TOGETHER we will be able to save teachers before THE Event on June 9th! Please use the sign-up genius page to volunteer for as much or as little as you can – www.SignUpGenius.com/go/30E0B45A5AE2CA20-are. Feel free to forward this on – the more the merrier! It’s the little things that count! THANK YOU.
