Family Giving Week: Together for Our Children

 Family Giving Week is a special time when our school community comes together to support the programs that help our children grow and thrive. While district funding provides the essentials, it does not cover the enrichment opportunities, leadership programs, and classroom resources that make learning exceptional.

 So far, 188 families have given, showing a strong commitment to our school’s 580 families. This is a wonderful start, but we know our community is even stronger when everyone participates.

 Family Giving Week is not about the size of the gift—it’s about each family joining in. Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference. When all families give, we share responsibility fairly and ensure every child benefits from the programs that make our school special.

 Let’s celebrate the families who have already contributed and warmly invite others to join us. Every gift matters. Every family counts.

 

 Warmly,

 Harini Ramalingam, Ph.D.

 President – VRE PTO
