The Mallard Fund

2023 – 2024 Mallard Fund

Sponsored by Maybeury PTA

Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year! We are excited to offer parents the opportunity to contribute to the Mallard Fund, one of two MES Fundraisers. The Mallard Fund allows parents to make an upfront donation to the PTA, in support of our annual operating budget of over $50,000, thereby eliminating the need for you to sell merchandise to your family and friends!

The Maybeury PTA supports our school’s mission by providing valuable programs and equipment for the students and teachers, thereby enriching their school experience. All money raised by the PTA goes directly to the school through student/teacher materials and programs, as well as facility improvements.

Our Mallard Fund goal for this year is $10,000! Since EVERY CHILD benefits from these funds, our goal is for EVERY FAMILY to participate, at whatever amount is possible. As a guideline, we recommend giving $25 per child enrolled, but please know that no amount is too small OR too large.

Here are some of the recent purchases our PTA made in the last year thanks to your generosity:

• Regular lessons with Fit4Kids in our own Maybeury Learning Garden
• New basketball backboards
• New music instruments 
• Classroom set of coding Ozobots to be used for innovative learning
• Gaga ball pit
• Yoga Day
• Family Events (back this year!), including MayBOOry, International Night, ESL Night and Spring Family Picnic
• Enrichment funds for all classroom teachers
• Experiential learning funds for hands-on learning experiences for all our students
• House shirts for all new students
• Yearbooks for all fifth grade students
• Financial support for students in need to be able to go on field trips
• New supplies for the art room
