Booster Club - Welcome

Welcome to the Coeur d'Alene community!

Coeur d'Alene Elementary is a small public school in Venice, California and is a part of the Los Angeles Unified School District.  With approximately 500 students in grades pre-K through 5, Coeur d'Alene reflects the spirit of the Venice community.  Like Venice, the school is culturally, ethnically, and economically diverse.  CdA has been designated as a School for Advanced Studies by LAUSD and offers enhanced programs for our students in math and science.  In the fall of 2007, our school was honored with the Music Center's BRAVO Award for excellence in arts education.  In early 2008 and again in 2012, CdA was named a California Distinguished School.

The Friends of Coeur d'Alene - our Booster Club - was formed by parents before the start of the 2002-2003 school year as a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization.  All parents and guardians of students are automatically members and are welcome to attend our meetings.  All members are eligible to run for office and have the power to vote on policy and expenditures.  Monthly meetings are held on the second Wednesday of the month (unless rescheduled because of holidays) from 6 to 8 pm, in the school auditorium.

The Booster Club encompasses many groups and committees of parents working to better our school.  We are involved in the beautification and safety of the school grounds, environmental awareness, a food drive, and volunteering in the classrooms, library, and PE program.  In addition, we coordinate most of the fundraisers that support, and in some cases, make possible the extras that are not included in our LAUSD budget.  We believe that these extras make Coeur d'Alene a great experience for our children and include such things as an extensive arts program, physical education program, and computer technology integration.

We hope you'll join our efforts!  Active parents make a great school.
