How Did This Happen

So how did Carpenter School in the Studio City Real Estate area become a bright star shining in the rather dull constellation that is theLos Angeles Unified School District? Well, the story goes that back in the 70's and 80's, parents pulled their children out of public schools and enrolled them in private schools because of mandatory busing. In 1985 only about 65 of the 459 (half of what the school could accommodate) students at Carpenter were from Studio City. Joan Marks, (Carpenter’s principal from 1985 to 2000)knowing her school was close to being closed, set out on a campaign to save it. |
|
Armed with the area demographics and with a few parents at her side she went door to door enlisting families with school-age children. Her message? ''If you enroll your child in this school, you are not just enrolling your child. You are enrolling your family. If you want to help it be a fabulous school, we need to be a team.''
It worked and it continues to work today. The parents formed a fund raising organization called "Parents for Carpenter" which has become primary in the school's success, which now enrolls about 850 children and is considered one of the best public elementary schools in Los Angeles.
In September, the school opened a new library that was built through the efforts of the parents' group. The library took four years and about $135,000.
The "Parents For Carpenter" reached out to the businesses in Studio City, many businesses display school supporter certificates in their stores. The school also sells corporate banners acknowledging their support -- for as much as $2,500 each -- which are hung on a fence on Laurel Canyon Boulevard. One of the school's biggest corporate relationships is with CBS Studios, which is just down the street. Not only does CBS donate money to the school it also helps out with building projects. For the new library, it donated carpenters to build bookshelves and seating. | |
