Our Team

The La Vernia community is small yet mighty. Our Board recognizes the importance of a life-work balance and looks forward to the time when our youth become the community’s leaders and decision-makers. Our members take their roles seriously and pursue their positions with the goal of providing the best opportunities and learning environment for LVISD students.

Our team works with the mission to engage, educate, and empower.

Grants

Since 2005 when LVEF was founded, the organization has contributed more than $850,000 to LVISD, thereby helping students and teachers in the educational journey.
If you wish to apply for a grant, application for Fall 2024 grants will be available later in the year. Please check our website, social media pages, and your email for details and updates regarding submission deadlines.
Teachers and staff members are encouraged to apply for LVEF grants. These funds can help with many hands-on learning experiences for students, from providing money to buy glasses for solar eclipse viewing to providing funds for STEM technology supplies.
Grant money can also be used for general educational purposes, such as purchasing software or supplies for use by all students in the school district.
