Papillion La Vista Community Schools Foundation

As we wrap up #AEW2024, we're celebrating the community leaders who champion PLCS through our I ?? Public Schools campaign. From volunteering their time and resources to advocating for education, these leaders play a crucial role in helping our students and staff thrive. First up is the Executive Director of the Papillion La Vista Community Schools Foundation, @leedenker Here's what he shared about supporting PLCS: ?? #WeArePLCS "Many families move to PLCS because of our outstanding public schools. I'm thankful that my grandparents made Papillion their home as newlyweds, starting three generations of proud PLCS graduates. And families like ours keep arriving because the reputation for educational excellence here grows stronger every day. I am PLCS Proud and I absolutely?love our public schools!"

Will you help local kids stay warm this winter? ?? ?? Cold weather is arriving. Some PLCS students simply don't have family resources to buy warm clothing and wear winter coats to school. They count on the PLCS Community Closet for help. It operates 100% on donations from generous donors like you. ?? This holiday season, your help is urgently needed to keep clothing on the shelves for kids. Your year-end gift will ensure that every student has access to warm clothing and basic necessities.
