MBEF Annual Appeal Campaign | |
As we enter the last month of the MBEF Annual Appeal campaign, it is our goal to achieve 100% support from our parents.Our school is currently at 66%. If individual classes reach 95% or higher, your teacher will receive $300 to spend on materials for your children this year.
For those families who have given in the past, We know you understand that without MBEF, our district would not be ranked in the top 1% of school districts in our state.
If you haven't donated in the past, you should know 90% of Meadows parents donated last year. Those donations support many programs benefitting our students in the current school year. This is a community wide effort. Please consider being a part of the reason our schools are so great.
Please take a moment to pledge or donate today at
https://mbef28206.thankyou4caring.org/DonateNow. For more information about MBEF, please visit their website at http://www.mbef.org.
