At Pacific, our students are supported by two essential partners: the Pacific PTA and the Manhattan Beach Education Foundation (MBEF). Both raise funds that directly shape our children’s experience—just in different ways. The simplest way to differentiate the two is that the PTA pays for things and MBEF pays for people. Pacific PTA: Every dollar stays at Pacific — funding classroom supplies, field trips, technology, campus improvements, and community events. On average, PTA spends more than $450 per student each year—support we couldn’t do without. MBEF: Your contributions fund districtwide programs and personnel, resulting in smaller class sizes, music, PE, science, counseling, and librarians—resources no single school could sustain alone and what, alongside the PTA, make Manhattan Beach the unique and premiere school district it is. The Pacific PTA and MBEF fundraising efforts complement one another and are each essential. Fundraising is what makes the educational opportunities our students enjoy possible. Each parents’ financial support is the key to sustaining programs our students rely on every day. With all families generosity, time, and commitment, together, we make Pacific the best it can be for those that matter most – the children. Visit pantherpta25.givesmart.com and mbef.org today.
