Support the Laurel PTO

The One Community Campaign (OCC) is our annual joint fundraising effort between the Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) and the Menlo Park-Atherton Education Foundation (MPAEF). The generous community funding we receive allows our schools to provide what truly is an exceptional educational experience - one that is not the norm in the rest of the state, and one that simply wouldn’t exist without parents giving what they can.  

The OCC funds the Menlo Park City School District’s PE, art, drama, and music programs, librarians, upgraded STEM curriculum, world language teachers, and over 40 electives at Hillview. The OCC also funds teacher development and higher teacher salaries, which is a huge advantage in the Bay Area to attract and retain high-quality, experienced teachers.

The suggested donation is $2,000 per student - the first $250 of which will go to your school’s PTO and the remainder will go to the MPAEF.  As always, our goal is 100% participation so please give at whatever level you are comfortable with.
