Protecting Education
Since my election to the Assembly in 2008, I have traveled all across the 15th district; from Walnut Creek to Livermore, from Oakley and Brentwood to Elk Grove and Galt, meeting with parents, educators, administrators and students to hear their stories about the impacts of recent education cuts. These informal “Classroom Cabinet” meetings keep me well informed about the issues and guide many of the education related bills I introduce and support.
As a mother, a former school board member and your Assemblymember, I am fully committed to fighting for our schools.
SAN RAMON, CA – Elementary school children from the San Ramon Valley Unified School District were honored last night at a reception held in the San Ramon District Office of Assemblymember Joan Buchanan (D-Alamo). Art created by students at Alamo, Golden View, Green Valley, Live Oak, Vista Grande and Walt Disney Elementary Schools is currently on display as a part of a program to celebrate young artists in the 15th Assembly District. Students and their families, along with art specialists, teachers, and principals attended the event.
“Art education is critical to fostering the creative and imaginative minds of our youth,” Buchanan said. The San Ramon Valley Unified School District has a Visual Arts program that encourages creativity, while learning about master artists and discovering a wide-rage of art mediums. This program is made possible through funds from the PTA’s, the San Ramon Valley Education Foundation and local non-profits. Buchanan continued, “By displaying the beautiful art work of students in the area we demonstrate and acknowledge the importance of this program.”
This exhibit is the first of the quarterly art shows in the District Office located at 2694 Bishop Drive #275, San Ramon, CA 94583. Future exhibits will feature the work of middle school and high school students. The District Office is open Monday through Friday between 9 AM and 5 PM. Assemblymember Buchanan invites area residents to visit the office and view the art work during regular business hours.
