The Manhattan Beach Education Foundation is a non-profit organization supported by concerned parents and residents in response to reduced state and federal funding for our schools. They have sponsored our music program, many science materials, literature packages, and math manipulatives for our Kindergarten. They have also served as the all-district vehicle to bring a sense of oneness to the Manhattan Beach community funding efforts. Our parents are true partners in the process we call education. They volunteer in classrooms, support an After School Program, provide family events like our Family Games Night, and organize an energetic membership drive which makes a myriad of programs possible for our staff and students.
Parents publish a directory and yearbook.
They serve as library docents and Young at Art instructors. This year for the first time, they are serving as Music Docents to extend our music appreciation program. They are active members of the Manhattan Beach Education Foundation and serve as leaders in community events. Community business partners include Chevron, Kinkos, and volunteers from Shorewood Realtors. Beach Cities Health District provides funding for our nurse and health assistant, our physical education program, and a counselor who offers individual and small group support.
