As a charter school, we are a public institution; however, we receive approximately 15% less funding than our traditional public school counterparts. To ensure that we continue offering a comprehensive curriculum that includes the arts, gardening, and sciences, our MRA community works diligently to bridge this funding gap. This is made possible through a variety of efforts, including a jog-a-thon, sales of products from our school garden, a bingo night, and various other fundraising activities, as well as numerous grant applications. Your donation would directly benefit our students and help us continue to provide them with the quality education they deserve.
