Episode Description from the Publisher

Community support takes many forms, from funding teachers and scholarships to filling the seats at a school musical. In this episode, we welcome Lake Oswego Schools Foundation board president Mark Birge and his son, Landon, a Lakeridge High School junior and lead in Anything Goes. Mark shares what inspires him to give back through the Foundation, Rotary, and school bond and levy campaigns. Landon offers a student’s perspective on the dedication behind a theater production and what it means to see the community in the audience. Together, they highlight how showing up can make a lasting difference for students. Whether you volunteer, contribute, or cheer from the audience, everyone can support our students in a meaningful way. Dr. Jennifer Schiele, Superintendent, LOSDMary Kay Larson, Executive Director of Communications, LOSDMark Birge, President of Lake Oswego Schools FoundationLandon Birge, Student, Lakeridge High School  To learn more about the topics we discussed, ask a question, or share ideas for future episodes, please visit LOSDSchools. org.
