Application for 501(c)(3) was Accepted!

admin — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 18:36:00 +0000

Great News!

We received a letter from IRS the other day, accepting our application for 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status.

This is a milestone for our group, which officially began its mission early this year. The wait period was rather short, thanks to our esteemed Secretary/ Lawyer/ Parent, Gabriela Kornzweig!

With 501(c)(3) application behind us, we can now focus on our mission to support our children, teachers and staff at Glenfeliz Elementary. We are planning our Fall General Meeting in early October to introduce ourselves to the student body and community. During the meeting, we will talk about our upcoming fundraiser events, such as Silent Auction, Winter/Spring Fair, and Banner programs. We’ll keep you posted on its date/time/location here on this blog.

Please let us know if you want to be a part of our activities; we could use your support to make our first year a big success.

Thank You!

Hi Everyone,

Kudos to everyone for the great achievement made thus far! A neighborhood parents group that started out small in 2006 has now become an official non-profit organization (Booster Club) for Glenfeliz Blvd Elementary School. We will soon receive a tax exemption status from IRS!
Our communication line is being developed as we speak. Our official website is www.friendsofglenfeliz.org and you can reach us via email at info@friendsofglenfeliz.org

Here are images of our tri-fold brochure that will be distributed at ArtWater Festival on April 26, 2008.

Updates re. neighborhood schools

admin — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 18:00:00 +0000

Hello all,

I was talking to Jory last night and he suggested I post this info here as it is good news not all of you may be aware of…

First, how many of you know that Glenfeliz was awarded the same arts prototype grant Ivanhoe got a few years ago. The grant pays for professionals from MOCA and LACMA to instruct the teachers on how to incorporate the arts into the curriculum – dance, drama, painting, etc. So that is great news for all interested parties.

Also, Glenfeliz has received a distinction for two years in a row for being in the top 15% of state schools that have the greatest AYP. As opposed to just the API score, the AYP measures the improvement percentage a school makes in the API testing year to year. So the school is improving at a pretty rapid rate. I feel more parent involvement will definitely make it comparable to Ivanhoe in a short amount of time.

Finally, the Los Feliz Charter School for the Arts is planning on moving to the New Hope Church location (behind Best Buy & Costco). At this point it is controversial because it is really close to the old Franciscan pottery toxic location. The school is going through all the proper channels though and getting all the required tests needed to determine if the location is safe for kids. The school administrators kids go to the school, so they will not go there if there is any question about safety left unanswered. Jory is familiar with the school and probably can answer questions about the school better than I, but it sounds like it would be an excellent alternative school option for our neighborhood if it is safe. We will be discussing the school at the next AVNC meeting on Feb 14 (yes unfortunately Valentines Day)at 7pm at the New Hope Church. I can also send you the draft of the minutes from my committee meeting where we first discussed it if you want. Email me at twarner@atwatervillage.org

Thanks.
