WCEF

PLEASE SUPPORT BOTH OUR MURWOOD PTA AND WCEF TK-12

When you donate to the Walnut Creek Education Foundation (WCEF) and join the Murwood PTA you are supporting our school! Your donations to WCEF are vital to enhance your child's education beyond what the state funds. 

California ranks 33rd in the country in per student funding resulting in only a basic education. The programs, teachers, and classes that make Murwood special, including weekly art, music, science lab, library, and more, are made possible through donations to WCEF.

Our Murwood PTA plays a crucial role in building community, organizing events, and supporting our exceptional teachers and staff and is part of a larger state association. To maintain these valuable programs and services, we kindly request families to contribute to both WCEF and the Murwood PTA this year. 

The suggested donation to meet our 2023-24 goal is $825 per child to WCEF and $250 per child to our PTA. However, what matters most is a united community coming together to give and volunteer whatever we can.

To learn more about WCEF, visit wcefk12.org or email contact@wcefk12.org.
