Miraloma For The Kids (MFTK) - Direct Giving Campaign
Miraloma For The Kids”, MFTK, is our direct giving campaign; it is a critical tool that helps us bridge the $200,000 funding gap between what the Miraloma program offers our students and the state funds we actually receive.
Among many things, the “MFTK” fund helps give our students exposure to various arts and sports programs, individual tutoring and counseling, a library and robust science and technology programming.
Our school needs to raise $571 per student for our budget to remain intact. We are hoping to have 100% participation this year for the annual fund. Consider a one time donation or about $75 a month for the remainder of this school year by clicking the "Donate Now" button in this newsletter.
