Our community is a great place to raise our children because of our award -winning Menlo
0:08
Park
0:09
City School District. Our goal is for every child to engage, achieve,
0:14
and thrive. Our school district
0:16
is community funded, so state and federal government funding only makes up about 10 %
0:22
of the Menlo Park City Schools budget. This means that our local community funds
0:27
90 % of our school
0:28
district's budget through property and parcel taxes and your tax -deductible donations to
0:33
the
0:33
One Community Campaign. Through our One Community Campaign, which is the combined
0:38
fundraising
0:39
efforts of our PTOs and the Menlo Park Atherton Education Foundation, we raise
0:44
approximately
0:45
$4 .5 million each year to support our schools. While that's
0:50
a big number, every dollar counts.
0:52
An excellent public education takes an investment from the
0:56
community. Thanks to your OCC donations, your children have
1:02
over 20 credentialed
1:04
teachers in art, science, music, and PE, a
1:09
credentialed librarian at every school,
1:12
smaller class sizes led by high -quality teachers and more individual attention,
1:17
more than 10 psychologists and counselors across all schools to support their
1:22
emotional needs.
1:24
40 middle school electives to choose from like music, photography, coding, robotics,
1:30
and world language.
1:31
And cutting -edge STEM programs, maker spaces, drama, family events,
1:36
assemblies, and field trips.
1:38
The great education you want for your kids isn't possible without the OCC.
1:44
And the OCC is only possible with your support.
