for Las Virgenes Schools is inviting all incoming LVUSD Kindergartners and their families to a Kindergarten Welcome Party on Sunday, Aug. 12, from 12-2 p.m.
Although this is a kinder party, the foundation welcomes all new incoming families, according to Jessica Pinto Nedick, T.H.E.'s vice president of marketing and communications.
"Our goal is to engage parents of all grades," said Pinto Nedick. "That is what sets us apart from other fundraising organizations like the individual PFC/A's. Whereas they pay for technology and programs for their individual schools, we are raising funds to save teachers and counselors for all schools: K-12."
By gifting proceeds directly to the district, the foundation is able to make a long-term significant impact in elevating the level of excellence in each school, which in turn protects the LVUSD and its standing as a "destination district," said Pinto Nedick.
The event, which takes place at A.E. Wright Middle School (4111 N. Las Virgenes Road, Calabasas), will offer food, Sports n' More, a DJ, face-painting, balloons and more, according to the invitation.
Parking will be available at the as well as at the school.
RSVP to secretary@togetherhelpingeducation.org by August 8.
