One of the joys of being on the Board and the current President of the Glen Cove Community Association is what we can do for our neighborhood, which constitutes about 10% of Vallejo. The only school in Glen Cove is our elementary school, so we pay particular attention to the safety and needs of the students there. Our Board works to make sure that the dismissal and drop-off of children, even during the pandemic, was done as safely as possible, and we ask our membership each year when they renew if they would consider chipping in a little extra for the school specifically. Because of this, we always have a budget that allows us to contribute toward the school. We ask the principal and the PTA each year what they need most. This year we provided an audio system with a microphone and colorful laptop trays for the students, among other things. VCUSD and GCCA board member John Fox joined me as we present the gifts to Principal Christine Lucero. Our local newspaper also picked up the story.
