Wow! The Foundation's Annual Campaign is off to a fantastic start! To date, the MPAEF has received $1.2 million in donations from over 700 district families. We are extremely thankful to these generous donors and we are thrilled with our early results. 

However, our work is far from over. As you are probably aware, the Foundation supports educational excellence in our schools by raising money for the district's operating budget from district parents, local businesses, and community members. This year, the district has defined a need for $4 million in Foundation funding. We have raised just 30% of this goal with 38% of our district families donating so far. Many of you pledged to give to the Foundation during the back-to-school joint campaign with the PTOs. We will be following up with you on those pledges during the month of November.  

In this time of great need, just imagine what we could accomplish in our schools if 100% of our families supported our district by donating to the Foundation. Our parent community's support is vital if we want our schools to be the best that they can be for all of our children. If you have not yet donated this year, we need your support now more than ever.  It is easy to donate or pledge via our website, at www.mpaef.org. 

We are thankful to be part of this incredibly generous community that so highly values public education. Your INvestment helps create schools that INspire our children. The question is: Are You IN?
