John Muir is a diverse, vibrant Title 1 public elementary school with significant financial needs. The Muir PTA funds materials and programs to reduce barriers to student achievement. If you can, please make a gift to our PTA today.

What can you do?

We aim to rise an additional $26,000 by June 30th, 2024 to meet this year’s fundraising goals (this is in addition to the approximately $23K we expect to reiceve through participation in SESSFA).

Your contribution really makes a difference! Here’s what your gifts support:

  • Unrestricted school funding (38%) for academic supports and programs - a Kindergarten tutor, art class, and physical education activities (e.g., the John Muir Bike Program).

  • Grant aministration and PTA operations (10%), including administation support for nearly $11K worth of grants that support various school needs - programming for Black Excellence and classroom upgrades.

  • Equity supports, including school supplies (22%) so all John Muir students have what they need to succeed!

  • School events and community building (13%) like 8th grade graduation and PTA events and programming.

  • Fundraising and SESSFA contributions (11%) so we can continue to support equitable funding for schools throughout SE Seattle. To learn more, visit the SESSFA website here.

  • Teacher appreciation (6%) so our staff feel supported and appreciated for all that they do!
