Support AMS Faculty by Donating to the Annual Giving Campaign
|
Every school's most precious resource is it's faculty. To attract and retain the best educators for our students, we need to reduce the salary difference between AMS faculty and their public school counterparts. Last year, money raised from the Annual Giving Campaign was used to closer align our salaries with Manhattan Beach Unified School District. We hope to continue this effort based on the dollar amounts received from the Annual Giving Campaign this year. You can support this important initiative by making a contribution to this year's Campaign.
The easiest and fastest way to make a donation is online by using a credit card and clicking this link:
