WOODLAND HILLS FOUNDATION NEWS Dear Friends, W Dr. Steven T. Gough 30 WOODLAND HILLS elcome back to the 2019-2020 School year! I hope the summer has treated you well. On behalf of the Woodland Hills Foundation, we wish the students, parents, faculty and staff a successful and enriching school year. The Woodland Hills School District touches everything in our community: our children’s education, our quality of life, our infrastructure and our livelihoods. And the mission of the Woodland Hills Foundation is to support and enrich the School District by strengthening, expanding and creating new experiences and innovations within our schools. At the heart of that mission is people and the talent they possess: Their passions, skills, and ideas become the lifeblood and the future of our community. That’s where YOU come in! With our commitment — and your help — we can support the Woodland Hills School District and its leaders to be successful in their vision…after all, it’s the same as ours. We want every child to learn at the highest levels possible, not just at their current potential. We want every child to be able to extend his or herself beyond what they are capable of achieving today. To do that, we need the most innovative curriculum, the best teachers, the best administrators and the best communities to foster that development and growth. So, how do you get involved? You can start by checking out our new and improved website: www.WoodlandHillsFoundation.com. There you’ll learn about upcoming events, volunteer opportunities, ways to give and more! And while you’re there, sign up for our new E-Newsletter. Periodically, we’ll send you information on our upcoming events, volunteer opportunities, impact reports and more. But that’s not all. We want to hear from YOU! Have you volunteered for a recent H.U.G.S. event? Maybe you attended our Chocolate and Diamonds Affair? Or your child received one of our scholarships? Send us your stories, your photos--whatever you want to share. Of course, our main goal is to provide even more scholarships, make more dreams come true and to connect you, our community, with our classrooms. Our success, and the success of our students, depends on the friendship, guidance and support of community members like you. We hope to see you soon. And maybe your friends and family just might see you in next issue of In Woodland Hills! With you in the community, Dr. Steven T. Gough Woodland Hills Foundation Board President
