Support North Richmond’s Verde School Students this Holiday Season

I’m proud to co-sponsor our annual Holiday Party and Fundraiser for Verde School in North Richmond. Thank you to Senator Jesse Arreguin for joining us again this year in our effort. Our goal is to raise $20,000 to provide every student with a new book, a school spirit sweater and long sleeve shirt, and to support other important school needs.  

Verde Elementary is the only school in the North Richmond community and serves as a hub for celebrations and important community meetings. Verde students are bright, talented, and full of hope but they also face significant challenges. Every child at Verde qualifies for free or reduced lunch, underscoring the urgent need for resources and support.

I’ve had the honor of representing North Richmond on the Board of Supervisors for 28 years. Verde students represent the future of North Richmond, and they deserve every opportunity to thrive. Together, we can help ensure that every Verde student feels valued, supported, and celebrated.
