Project SEEK Needs Your Help

McGaugh Families and the Seal Beach Community-

As you are all aware, McGaugh Elementary School provides a wonderful learning environment – an educational community complete with a fully equipped media center, an art lab, and a hands-on computer lab.   We believe all of these are an essential part of the well balanced education that we all want for our children.  Unfortunately, state and district budget cuts are threatening the continuance of these vital programs.  WE NEED YOUR HELP!  Please do not let our computer lab and media center close.

We would like to encourage you to help keep McGaugh Elementary the first-rate school our community has come to expect. A five-time winner of the California Distinguished School honor, we are proud of the academic excellence our school demonstrates on a daily basis.

For the past 17 years Project SEEK (Seeking Educational Excellence for our Kids) a non-profit fund-raising foundation has raised money to support school enrichment programs.  This year SEEK's fundraising has not produced enough money to continue to fund the credentialed teachers in the art lab and media center and the two computer center and media center aides that it has funded in the past.  We are $40,000.00 short of our goal!  With the joint effort of PTA, the McGaugh community and the local Seal Beach community we are hopeful we can reach our goal and continue to provide these programs for our children. 

So, how can you help right now? Please donate to this worthy cause.  No dollar amount is too large or too small, every penny counts.  We are hopeful that with your help our children will continue to enjoy the incredible education they deserve.

Thanks in advance for your support. We know the children of McGaugh will appreciate your donation too.

Sincerely,
