Sister School Program
Sister School Program is a philanthropic program benefits Live Oak students by fostering civic responsibility, enhancing community engagement, promoting volunteerism, and by teaching the joy of helping others. This goal is accomplished by partnering our school with a partner school in a neighboring disadvantaged area of the East Bay.
In the past, Live Oak PTA has gathered school supplies, warm coats, playground recess equipment and snacks to donate to our Sister School Students. We hope to continue to work with the school to determine their needs, collect/procure items (if any) and deliver them to the partner school.
This year, Live Oak is partnering with
Michelle Obama Elementary School, in Richmond, CA. ( formerly Wilson Elementary School)
The school serves grades K-6 in the West Contra Costa Unified district.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the community for their incredible generosity this holiday season. The final count of accumulated toys was 658 with the goal of around 450. We surpassed our goal of providing toys to Michelle Obama Elementary School, our Sister School! This is a combined effort of both Live Oak and Cal High communities! Thanks to your overwhelming support!
We want to express our deepest appreciation to the Student Council, PTA, representatives from Cal High, and every member of our community. Your unwavering commitment has truly made a difference and we are immensely grateful for your contributions. Many thanks to Perin Sabuwala for chairing this initiative.
