Manhattan Beach Education Foundation - MBEF
Dear Friends of MBEF –

              You make it possible. Year after year, you — the parents, business leaders, educators, and neighbors of our
              community — recognize that great schools begin with strong foundations.

              Together we have committed to opportunities that invite our students to dream, to think, and to engage in what
              is possible. Because of your commitment, this year the Manhattan Beach Education Foundation (MBEF) will make
              its largest grant to the Manhattan Beach Unified School District in its history — an investment of $7.5 million to
              strengthen our schools.

              We invite you to learn more about the specific programs MBEF will fund for the coming 2020-21 school year in

The Power
              this Annual Report & Honor Roll — the programs you helped make possible. Despite district budget cuts this year,
              support of MBEF continues to strengthen the academic journey of all students, from learning in smaller class sizes
              to supporting learning from home.

of Possible
              The road ahead remains full of challenges for our schools. The uncertainty around continued distance learning and the
              significant structural deficit in state funding are among the largest. But our community has proven that we are up to
              the challenge. We are steadfast in our efforts to grow local support of our schools — through MBEF’s Annual Appeal,
              the Endowment, and other critical initiatives — for the students of today and tomorrow.

              Thank you for standing with MBEF and our commitment to providing excellent educational opportunities for our
              children here in Manhattan Beach. We look forward to shaping what is possible together.

              With great appreciation,

Our Schools
     Despite limited funding from the state, our district’s outcomes speak for themselves. MBUSD
     is among the top K-12 school districts statewide and our students benefit from a rich and
     diverse curriculum. Within our elementary, middle and high school campuses, we host LA
     County and California Teachers of the Year, award-winning Model UN, Robotics and Theater
     programs, Grammy award-winning Mira Costa Music program, Distinguished, Gold, Blue, and
     Green Ribbon Schools…the list goes on. Most importantly, over 95% of our students graduate
     high school and continue to thrive in post-secondary training or the college right for them. Our
     students excel because we have an engaged community that is willing to invest in our
     children’s education and future.
