We're so excited to launch John Muir Elementary’s year-end fundraising campaign — and thanks to a group of generous Muir families, every dollar you give will be matched up to $8,500. That means your gift has twice the impact for our students and community.

Your support helps fund the programs that make Muir such a vibrant, joyful, and inclusive place for our kids to learn and grow. Contributions go directly toward:

🏫    Special education resources

🎼    Music, art, and PE

📚    Library supplies

🎭    After-school programming

🎟    Community events and assemblies

📝    Academic enrichment and classroom support

These are the experiences that shape our students’ days and strengthen our school community — and they’re made possible by you.

If you’re able, please consider making a donation today so we don’t leave any matching dollars on the table. A gift of any size truly makes a difference.
