A gift to the MVSEG Annual Giving Campaign (AGC) is the single most important gift to give to the Mar Vista school community. MVSEG bridges the gap between what LAUSD funds and the support and enrichment programs that enhance the day to day lives of ALL Mar Vista students –including art, science, technology, class-size reduction teachers, classroom aides, performing arts, P.E., social-emotional learning, spanish, instructional coach, and so much more! We are asking every family to donate $150 per month, or a one-time $1,800 donation, or any amount that works for your family. Our goal is 100% participation! Your support acts as a vote of confidence in Mar Vista and sends a strong signal of your belief in the Mar Vista education. Thank you for your continued support and generosity!
