MUSD Class of 2020 Fundraising Drive
When the Covid-19 Pandemic hit and the County Shelter in Place forced closures of our school campuses to students for the last quarter of their Senior Year, the MUSD Class of 2020 was stripped of the traditional events and activities, such as prom, graduation and Spring team athletics, that produce lasting memories that seniors take with them as they embark on the next chapter in their lives. MUSD’s Board of Education unanimously adopted Resolution 2020.36 Recognizing and Honoring the MUSD Class of 2020, which included a pledge to raise $10,000 to ensure their graduation celebrations will be remembered forever. WE are calling on any individuals, businesses, and organizations that have the means to donate today. Please email us at musd-supt@musd.org or call us at (408) 635-2600 ext. 6031 to make your donation. All funds will go directly toward end-of-year activities for the Class of 2020.
