MVEF - Please donate today!

Please consider making a small donation to the  Mountain View Education Foundation (MVEF)!

Donate below (and choose "TH" as the school):

https://crm.bloomerang.co/HostedDonation?ApiKey=pub_b348058c-54ec-11e6-9d49-0a1b37ae639f&WidgetId=7051264

MVEF pays for art, music, Living Classroom, and so much more!   And it is 70% funded by parents like you!  Without parent donations, there would be no art classes or music classes.

Currently we have a goal of 25 Theuerkauf families donating before October 31st and we're only about half way there.  If you can make even a small donation, it would be a big help!  Thank you for considering!
