    Fundraising at King


    Our Friends of King funding drive needs and appreciates your generous support! Thank you.

    As you know, both the state and our school district are facing extreme budget shortfalls. Funding for King programs previously paid for by BSEP (Berkeley Schools Excellence Project) and other sources has been diverted to help cover those gaps. As a result, the PTA has been asked to help fund several very important items for the 2007-08 school year, including athletic and music programs, field trips, library support, and tutoring services.

    If you would like the opportunity to contribute, please join our Friends of King Campaign by making a donation to King PTA. To make a donation, please make a check payable to MLK PTA and return it to school. All donations are tax deductible (Tax ID #94-6183862.) Remember, no donation is too small or too large, all will be deeply appreciated, and all directly support your child's school and programs.

    Other ways to Support Our School:

    • You can also support King while shopping without spending an extra dime. Register your credit, debit and store loyalty cards with escrip, Albertson's, Schoolpop and Maatian (FreePledge) programs and King will get a rebate ranging from 3-9% of every dollar you spend at participating merchants.
    • Another great fundraising option is to recycle your empty inkjet or laser cartridges from most printers, faxes and copy machines and get points to buy new computers and other technology for King.
    • Get more detailed information and helpful links on our Fundraising page.

    The King e-tree is a useful communication tool to learn about activities and events occurring at King, and to receive limited information about what is happening with Berkeley Unified School District in general. This is a selectively moderated list, which means that the volume of email is kept to a minimum. Subscribers can view and search the King e-tree archive.
