Love Our Schools Foundation, Lafayette, Louisiana;
Love Our Schools was formed to put love into action, to restore hope and to inspire change in our schools. Starting in Lafayette Parish, our objective is to support educational growth and achievement.
Launching its first initiative in the summer of 2019, Love Our Schools put out a call for help that resulted in an overwhelming groundswell of support. The community donated $1.3 million, and nearly 3,000 people volunteered to revitalize eight schools, equip 5,000 students and inspire over 750 teachers and staff. It was an opportunity for all to be a part of a pivotal change, showing that our community cares.
As Nelson Mandela so eloquently stated, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” And that is exactly what Love Our Schools plans to do…one school at a time, one teacher at a time, one child at a time. When we make a difference for even just one, that’s when hope is restored and lives are impacted. When we make a difference for everyone, that’s when true change happens.
