The Muir PTA provides funding for art and science programs, technology, library improvements, classroom supplies, field trips, and other projects in support of our students.
Major fundraising events include:
Annual Giving (September – June) The PTA asks each family to give what it can to support the PTA’s programs. Our goal is 100 percent participation at any level of giving. Installment payments by credit card gladly accepted. Paypal also accepted (see Donations page).
Innisbrook Sale (September-October) Students bring home catalogs from the Innisbrook gift wrap company. Families are encouraged to sell Innisbrook products to friends,relatives, and co-workers.

All are welcome to this high-energy fundraiser -- also the year's biggest fundraiser!

Book Fair (May)
Children and their families are encouraged to purchase items at the Scholastic Book Fair, held in the Media Center.
The John Muir Flea Market is held the first Saturday of each month. Vendor fees are an important source of revenue for our PTA.

Printer Cartridge Recycling (year-round)
Earn money for Muir each time you recycle a computer printer cartridge.

Larger toner cartridges may be placed in a box by the entrance of the library near Room 205. You can recycle batteries as well in the main office.
