Leadership Development

An effective leadership team is a core to the success of Love Our Schools Day! This team helps keep the planning for Love Our Schools Day moving forward and works to keep the needs of the school at the front of the conversation.

Build Your Team

School Point Person

Who naturally rallies the troops and always seems to get stuff done? Is there one person who stands out, or a team of 2 or 3 who work well together?

Community Hero

Is there a key community partner from a local business, church, or club, with whom the school has a great relationship and works to support where needed?

Facilities Manager

The FM is critical to the success of Love Our Schools Day since these projects can support their workload and campus needs. Allow them to flex their time so that they can be present on the school project day!

Project Leader

This may be the School Point Person, Community Hero, Parent Organization Member, or anyone who the group chooses. They are responsible for a specific project, manage the supplies and details, and lead a team on the school project day!

Identify Love Our Schools Day Projects

To identify school project goals, it helps to start with three things:

  • School Goals

Want to make a difference? You might be just one connection away...

Just ask these 21 incredible girls! When Brooke Mandelbaum, a high schooler with a big heart, dreamed of giving back and helping girls feel beautiful, all she needed was a pathway.

That’s where School Connect came in—connecting Brooke with counselor Adriana Toles at Alhambra High School. 

Together, they made prom dreams come true for 21 young women from Alhambra and Cesar Chavez High Schools who had a chance to pick out their own dresses, received perfume and tickets, and created memories they’ll never forget.

This is the power of connection—reminding every student that they matter, inside and out. 

Here’s to sparking more joy, one connection at a time!
