The LVUSD has been able to maintain our award-winning schools in the face of drastic funding cuts


Watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53lzNclEXQ4&sns=em


The quality reputation helps keep local property values high and enhances the entire community. However, the District eliminated all school counselor funding at the elementary schools, and limited the counseling at middle and high schools. These talented, credentialed professionals are trained to detect and defuse student issues before they fester and escalate. They help our children develop life skills to overcome anxiety and grief, teach conflict resolution, encourage leadership techniques, and provide support in countless ways.


The District and T.H.E. Foundation for Las Virgenes Schools are committed to increasing counseling services at all LVUSD schools, starting in the


2013-2014 school year. Of course, they cannot do this without your help.


They ask that EVERYONE in the LVUSD community join this cause and make a tax-deductible donation of $150 or more to T.H.E. Foundation’s Counselor Campaign TODAY at http://www.togetherhelpingeducation.org/donate. Every dollar donated to this campaign will go directly to hire school counselors.
