Moraga Education Foundation

President's Message

August 1, 2010

Dear Parents: 

Thank You! Your donations to the Moraga Education Foundation (MEF) for the 2010-2011 school year exceeded $1.4 million. Your contributions will support staffing and programs in the Moraga School District (K through 8^th grade) and Campolindo High School including:

Teachers
Counselors
Librarians
Science Lab Aides
Class Size Reduction
Electives and Z-period
Music and Art
Physical Education
Choral Music
Visual and Performing Arts
Classroom Technology

This is a remarkable achievement and clearly demonstrates our community’s commitment to financially support quality public education in Moraga’s public schools.

Over the past three years, due to the significant reductions in state education funding, our schools have been faced with cutting programs and tapping reserves. Looking forward to the next school year, the projections are not bright, and further reductions are anticipated.

To continue to preserve core programs and address the education funding challenges, MEF’s campaign goal for the next school year is $1.6 million.

The recommended contribution per student is $750—This is an increase over last year but on par with other districts in our area and vital to raising the funds we need to continue to deliver the quality education we want for our children.

Together we can reach this goal. As you register online for the upcoming school year, please make your financial pledge to MEF or use the enclosed donation envelope. We ask all families to donate to MEF at the highest level they can afford. Contributions at every level make a difference. Thank you for investing in our schools.

Sincerely,

Diana Obrand

President, MEF

Quality education in Moraga’s public schools is worth the investment.
