Students will lose if we lose them!
Our students cannot afford the loss of our enthusiastic staff who are making a difference in the classroom and our school. Fewer teachers will lead to a dramatic increase in class size, which means students will receive less attention from their teachers.
Please help us save our Mar Vista staff… Tell the District to rescind the layoff notices and protect class size!

PHON-A-THON
Calling All Pledges!
Help ring in the new school year!The 21st Annual MVSEG Phon-a-Thon
|
|
This year, the MVSEG (Mar Vista School Enrichment Group) is challenged to raise $244,810 to fund the enrichment programs that are planned for the year.
These funds support more than 12 programs that are 100% dedicated to enriching our children’s lives.
These programs, which include art, music, computers, science, PE and field trips, provide our children with countless hours of hands-on learning experiences that go above and beyond any textbook.
Without the support of parents and the community, these programs will not happen.
The Phon-a-Thon is a critical part of our annual fundraising and is expected to generate $70,000 of the funds needed. | 
Check here to see if your company has a Gift Matching Program. |
Please help us reach that goal by contributing as generously as you are able. All donations are tax-deductible. Also, be sure to check with grandparents, local businesses and your employer to see if they will match your donation with their own tax-deductible donation. Every dollar makes a difference!
Want to make your donation quickly and easily? You can make an online donation via PayPal or credit card.
If you are interested in volunteering for the Phon-a-Thon, please contact co-chairs Andy Trilling (Andy@Trilling.com)
or Bill Bedecarre (billbed@verizon.net).
Online Donations via PayPal or Credit Card:
Just click on one of the buttons to make a donation to "Support the Enrichment Programs
at Mar Vista Elementary School". You can use Paypal or a credit card, the choice is yours. |
