Grants from the Manhattan Beach Education Foundation (MBEF) support programs at Pennekamp including our P.E. teacher, librarian, educational support specialist (assistant principal) and technology specialist's salaries, classroom assistants for 4th and 5th grade, health assistant and clerical support salaries, Young At Art and our instrumental music program for 3rd through 5th grade.  To ensure these programs continue, it is important that all families participate in the Foundation’s annual appeal for funds.

 

Classrooms that reach 100% participation will earn $300 in classroom funds for their teacher.  

 

Classrooms that reach 75% participation will earn $250 in classroom funds for their teacher.

 

Classrooms that reach 50% participation will earn $200 in classroom funds for their teacher.
