We kicked off our Pacific Pantherthon Fun Run with a fun filled pep rally.
For The Love of Reading Our school libraries ignite and sustain a love of literature and learning in our children. MBEF funds the librarians at each of our seven school sites who maintain each collection of books but also bring research and media literacy skills to our students. Your MBEF donation ensures that MBUSD students will always have librarians to offer guidance, support and inspiration. Please Give Now.mbef.org/givetoday/
MBEF Parent Survey The Manhattan Beach Education Foundation relies on your feedback to help direct program funding. Please share your priorities in the MBEF Parent Survey - your feedback is critical to MBEF's strategic direction and should only take 5-10 minutes of your time. The target is 100% participation and the feedback you provide is anonymous. The survey will close on Thursday, February 1, 2018. Please click here to share your feedback.
