Dear Oak Knoll Families: The Menlo Park-Atherton Education Foundation's (MPAEF) Annual Parent Campaign closes in two days! Participation from Oak Knoll families is currently at 70%. Every gift brings us one family closer to the 80% goal and shows our resolve as a community to create extraordinary public schools for all children in our community. The MPAEF is the education foundation that raises funds for our schools, and helps pay for: - Music and Art Teachers - creative learning and critical thinking skills
- Librarian - instills a love of reading
- Counselor - conflict resolution, life skills, and social-emotional support
- Technology - iPads and laptops in the classrooms
- Teacher-Initiated Grants - relevant, engaging curriculum
- Classroom Teachers - our students learn in smaller class sizes
The MPAEF's goal is 80% participation from our District parents and it still needs 357 families to pledge or donate by Thursday to reach this goal. I hope that all Oak Knoll families who have not yet made a gift to the MPAEF will consider doing so at any level. You can pledge or donate online at www.mpaef.org. You may mail donations to the MPAEF office at PO Box 584, Menlo Park, CA 94026 or drop off your donation in the Oak Knoll office before Friday. Please know that a pledge can be fulfilled up through May 1, 2014, which is a great way to make your commitment, be counted, and pay at a time convenient for you. Thank you to our many Oak Knoll families who have already done their part! |
