Charity Footprints Partner - Menlo Park-Atherton Education Foundation

Supporting Encinal, Laurel, Oak Knoll & Hillview schools.

MPAEF’s goal is to fundraise and grant $3.2M to MPCSD for the 2021-2022 school year to fund critical programs at the four (4) schools in the district including: • 27 additional teachers that allow for smaller class sizes and enriched specialist programs; • Hiring high quality teachers and supporting them with professional development to ensure the best learning experience possible for students. • Leveraging existing investments in technology and infrastructure such as Dreambox, Lexia, Altitude, Google Classroom, and many more to quickly transition to at-home learning; • Supporting hundreds of district families with learning tools—including internet access and computers—for EVERY student in need; • A mental health safety net including 10 counselors across all schools, which will be particularly critical as students return to the classroom.
