JOIN US FOR OUR COMMUNITY MEETING
Your PTA needs your voice and your talent! We will hold our elections for the 2020-2021 school year next week at our community PTA meeting (June 11th from 6pm - 7pm; remotely - click for Zoom link).
Will you please consider playing a more active role in this community next year? We are in significant need of more members. THE STRONGER OUR COMMUNITY, THE STRONGER OUR IMPACT.
We are an imperfect community of parents, guardians, community members, teachers, and staff who are committed to advancing anti-racism in our school community, strengthening community supports, and interrupting the impacts of systemic racism, xenophobia, and income inequality that threaten the ability of our students to achieve their dreams.
We work to support and encourage our teachers and staff while also holding each other accountable to our shared goals. We believe that our most powerful tool is our collective advocacy (not our ability to raise money) in our work to eliminate the achievement gap.
If you have questions or interest in joining us, please email Lul and Makeba at info@themuirpta.org.
More than ever, we need strong communities that work together to address big challenges that threaten the next generation. We hope that the Muir PTA will be a place that you can do this work with us.

UPDATE: We have an incredibly exciting update to share!!!
Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community (including a major donor who contributed $10,000!!!) we have now raised more than $24,000.
We are so moved by the ways in which this community cares for one another. As requests for rent and utility support continue to come in, our Wellness Team is using up these funds quickly.
We are meeting this need with an increased goal:
