"Mi escuela es tu escuela."
To be written on the fence of Grand View Elementary in Mar Vista as a welcome symbol to all students.  We have a fantastic Dual Language program that we want to promote and our humble Title One school is directly adjacent to a very posh and private Wildwood School.  We shine too!
