LVISD Education Foundation June Jamboree
All proceeds support the LVISDEF Innovative Teaching Grant Program, which aims to give our super deserving teachers $15,000 per year. The more the Foundation raises, the more they are able to give! The LVISDEF has been very generous to the teachers at LVES over the last couple of years.
We hope to get an awesome turnout and appreciate any help you can give us in spreading the word. It would be a HUGE help if you would like our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/LVISDEF/
