It takes $500 per student to fund enrichment programs such as music and garden, science camp, reading support, and supplies to support our classrooms. That’s about $50 per month. It is more important than ever that we come together to support all our students. If $500 isn’t in your budget, please consider giving what you can, or enlist others to help contribute. Many employers offer matching funds, doubling your contribution! Grandparents and friends can also contribute in your child’s name for a meaningful holiday or birthday gift. Every dollar helps support all of our students. All funds raised go directly to Madera Elementary to support our students, and all donations are tax-deductible.
