It’s Election Day!🗳️💜

A little civic engagement in action! I brought my girls along to drop off my ballot at one of our BD7 schools, Gardena High School. There’s no better way to teach the next generation about the importance of voting than by leading by example and showing them that every voice has the power to make a difference.

Also, our BD7 team has voted!

Have you voted yet? Make sure to visit any polling place to cast your vote or drop off your ballot today by 8:00pm!

Your voice matters. Make it count!

🎃 Post 2 of 2: So much creativity at our BD7 schools! BD7 had an incredible time celebrating Fall Festivals this morning at Carodale Learning Center, Gardena EEC, 66th Elementary School, 135th Elementary School, and Avalon Gardens! We had a blast visiting schools and watching the festive parades, games, trunk or treats, and activities. Seeing our students, families and staff shine in their creativity was such a delight. Thank you to everyone who helped make these events possible!

Have a fun and safe weekend, BD7! 🍬👻

Today, we lost a legend. Dolores Huerta championed the rights of students, women, workers, and our underserved communities, keeping alive the promise of a more just and democratic society.

Her legacy will remind us of the power of advocacy and the importance of ensuring every voice is heard. Her story and invaluable contributions will provide our students and, in particular, our young girls an example of how one person can truly change the world.

In LAUSD BD7, we will honor Ms. Huerta’s legacy by continuing to inspire our students to lead with courage, stand up for others, and work toward a more equitable future. Now, more than ever, we must stand against efforts to silence marginalized communities and continue the fight for equity and justice that Ms. Huerta embodied for decades.

Gracias, Dolores por la lucha.

¡Sí, se puede!
Por siempre en nuestros corazones.

Dolores C. Huerta

Can you guess which school Tanya is visiting in this video? Here’s a hint: It’s a BD7 school in San Pedro where adult students with disabilities are creating incredible art, ceramics, catering, coffee, and so much more! With the incredible support of our staff and community, students are building skills, exploring their talents, and gaining opportunities to start their own businesses. Their creativity and hard work also make a meaningful difference by supporting our local schools and communities. 💜
