Donate to the Franklin PTA

The Franklin PTA counts on you for your continued support in providing the best possible learning environment for all children. Your donation is used toward our PTA operating expenses to fund things like field trips, technology in the classroom, campus improvements, and much more! We also use funds to advocate for our children and every child in the SMMUSD family by recommending action on legislation and supporting the efforts of the Ed Foundation to engage our community. Thank you so much!

Donate to the Ed Foundation

The Santa Monica Education Foundation raises funds for additional staff and programs at all 12 public schools in Santa Monica. At Franklin, your annual donations to the Ed Foundation fund P.S. ARTS, instructional aides and a stretch grant that Franklin decides how to fund. In the past, this grant has funded STAR Science, health office staff, noon-duty aides and more. Grant-funded programs during distance learning are being finalized. The Ed Foundation’s endowments also fund recorders for 3rd graders and their book bins support our school library! The Ed Foundation fundraises for STAFF and programs. PTA fundraises for STUFF, like materials and technology. That’s why it’s so important to donate to the Franklin PTA and the Ed Foundation each year. Some of Franklin's most wonderful educational experiences are possible because of donations to our Ed Foundation.

ADVOCACY CORNER

Now that the November 2020 election is over (or at least, the polls have closed), the priority for public schools is to maintain funding for schools. PTA is asking for your help – contact your elected officials and request that schools be included in the next round of COVID-19 relief.Here is a link that allows you to email all California U.S. representatives and Senators.

 

Election results: The PTA’s priority state ballot measures, Proposition 15 and Proposition 16, did not pass in Tuesday’s election. This means that fundraising and equality will be all the more important for continued advocacy efforts. We appreciate all of you who have helped efforts for our children and communities.

 

Santa Monica Measure SM, our local priority measure, did get voter approval, which is great news for continued support for Santa Monica public schools in the current economic downturn. This ballot measure will increase a one-time tax for the sale of property of more than $5 million, with proceeds going to the City general fund. The City has offered substantial support for the District for many years, totalling more than $335 million since 2003.
