ANNUAL GIVING DRIVE
Support Our School
We need everyone in our school community to pitch in – and because we honor and value the diversity in our families – we’re asking all families to donate on a sliding scale based on household income. No amount is too big or too small. Please see the giving form for suggested giving amounts and consider giving an amount that is meaningful to you and your family.
Our students are environmental stewards, creative thinkers and thoughtful leaders who represent communities and neighborhoods throughout Los Angeles.
