By KATE BRANSFIELD
have always been a strong advocate
for our public schools in Santa
Monica and I'm proud to say that our
community's schools are world-class!
I have for years lived and worked near
Franklin Elementary, Roosevelt
Elementary and Lincoln Middle School.
I value education tremendously and
believe that the future in our community
is in the hands of our children.
It's why I support those schools
through my sponsorships of their
programs and activities.
The parental involvement at these
schools is great and if I can help in
some way I am very gratified to do so.
Santa Monica schools still value a
well rounded education. Even in the
face of challenging circumstances at the
state level, students in Santa Monica
still have exposure to the arts and class
sizes remain at reasonable levels. Our
schools are perfect examples of what is
right with education.
That’s a major reason I personally
sponsor the three public schools in our
special corner of Santa Monica.
As we begin the new year, I thought
I'd share with you our schools'
messages as they welcome back
students:
