RUCHI SARAN - Board Member at Large, Communications ChairEmpathy is one of the most important values to be successful and happy in life, and to empathize and work with students who are our future leaders makes it more significant and meaningful to me - and what better place than an Education Foundation to be that change? The EF is an important part of the district, as it works not just with students, but parents and teachers also. The Foundation makes an effort to understand their needs and support them all in any which way. After all it does take a village to raise a child.

ELIZABETH WARD - Board Member at Large, SAB Liaison, Communications TeamI volunteer with the Ed Foundation because I enjoy it! I believe that all the students in our district deserve to have the best possible experience in high school, and volunteering my time with organizations that support this goal is one of the best ways to make it happen!
My own parents cheerfully volunteered for a variety of causes they believed in, and I want my children to see that there is value in doing work for its own sake, without the need for extrinsic reward or public recognition. elizabeth@cuhsdef.org |
