Established in 1982, the Menlo Park-Atherton Education Foundation (MPAEF) seeks to enable the Menlo Park City School District (MPCSD) to provide an exceptional education to students at Laurel, Encinal, Oak Knoll, and Hillview schools. Working with parents, local businesses, community members, and the District, we raise money to pay for high-quality teachers, a comprehensive educational program, and teaching innovation beyond what is possible with public dollars alone. Our most recent grant to the District in June 2013 was for $3.6 million and funded 32 educators. The Foundation is committed to conducting its fundraising in a manner that enhances a positive sense of community, fosters cooperation among all District organizations, and increases awareness of the need for private funds for public education. Anyone can support our kids, educators, and schools by joining the Foundation. We thank all of the parents, family members, teachers, staff, businesses, and community members who have done so this year—and over the past three decades!
