Congrats to Marina Del Rey Middle School
Last night the DNRC Board of Directors approved $4,500 in funds for Marina Del Rey Middle School. The money allows the P.E. department to buy new tumbling mats and variety of important after school clubs to purchase key materials. In addition, the DRNC will receive a banner announcing the educational partnership on a prominent wall of the school and sponsorship announcements in event programs and on athletic uniforms.
A healthy partnership for sure.
Thanks to all who worked tirelessly on the grant proposal. Anything that improves our neighborhood schools improves our neighborhood!

Minutes from 4.15.09 Education Committee Meeting
Agenda for DRNC Education Sub-Committee Meeting
8:00 pm – 9:00 p.m. April 15, 2009, Mar Vista Family Center, 5075 S. Slausen Ave, Del Rey, California, 90230
Agenda
I. Call to Order and Roll Call
- Present: Eric DeSobe, Brett Flater, Mark Redick, Marlene Savage, Theresa Lou, Elizabeth Zamora, Liz Layne, Francine Edwards
II. Welcome and Introductions
- Done
IV. "Needs Survey" update -
- DeSobe will input needs for minutes from collected sheet or scan collected surveys to upload on post on blog
- Thoughts on collected needs survey:
o Mark – teachers paying out of pocket is not good; good we join with their booster club; what club activities could we tag along to; what are top three after school programs? Beyond the Bell was one, YMCA is popular, Intervention; what are schools doing during the summer?
o Marlene – volunteering; Eric Garcetti did a volunteer survey and this inspired Marlene; after school program
o Francine – clubs we could tag along to; finding the club heads to connect with; like the knitting club
o Liz – new library at Playa Vista Elementary School; getting $50,000 and raising additional $50,000 (Wonder of Reading); communication – marquee would be great (even the old school kind, non-electronic), website issues; could we connect businesses to this project?; May 1st silent auction at Playa.
o Elizabeth Zamora – DRNC and homeowners need more involvement with schools for sure. Small grants, classroom grants; adopt a teacher/classroom; health and nutrition … how do we connect them? Parents paying for P.E.; community garden grants (ties into beautifaction)
o Theresa – she agrees; consortium of schools idea; connect to the businesses and really build the community
o Brett and Eric – Stoner Elementary visits; technology and extra-curricular activities; usable technology; keep LAUSD budget cuts in mind
V. Strategies and priorities for rest of 2009
1. Try to pitch one or two projects before school year ends to Executive Committee (which meets April 30th, 2009).
a. What about arts attack? Mural project? Francine and Liz will check in with Eric next week with a project. Project will be submitted to Mark by 11:00 a.m. April 27th, 2009 to get on Executive Committee agenda.
b. Summer project for Education Committee should revolve around creating a Del Rey school consortium that the Ed. Committee presents to local business to get funds for all schools
VI. Questions/Next Steps
1. Question about drafting a statement aboutLAUSD budget cuts
The DRNC Education Committee aspires to raise awareness of and connect community members to our neighborhood schools. The Education Committee will commit its resources, time, and energy to promote excellence in our schools.
