Volunteers gathered at the Los Altos Alain Pinel and Coldwell Banker realty offices Sept. 19 and 20 to call area residents on behalf of the Mountain View-Los Altos High School Foundation’s annual phoneathon.
Parents, foundation members, board members and district staff were on hand to help the foundation raise its $650,000 goal for the district this year. The volunteers called families in the high school district asking for $600 per pupil to supplement funding class-size reductions for incoming freshmen, tutorial centers, college and career centers, technology upgrades and extended library hours.
“Every day kids are affected by these donations,” Superintendent Barry Groves said.
