Hand in Hand. Shoulder to Shoulder.
Because charter schools are so different than traditional public, or even private schools, when it comes to funding and support, the phrase “Everybody gives” is integral to the LFCSA culture. It’s a philosophy that is inherent in the school’s creation, its day-to-day success, and to its far-reaching future.
The families who become involved in LFCSA understand the enormous value of coming together, to offer individually unique talents for the benefit of one very important recipient, our school — or in reality, our children.
Each year, every LFCSA family commits to donating at least 60 hours of their time. Those 60 hours could mean contributing professional expertise, behind-the-scenes coordination or even simple — but vital —labor. The point is, everyone has something to give, and that “something” has the power to make a difference in our school.
