Dear Taylor Middle School Families,



We're excited to kick off our annual PTA Membership Drive! This year, we suggest a donation of $250 per student (get a free yearbook with a $250 donation), but any amount makes a difference. Your contribution directly supports programs that enrich our students' learning experience.



Incentive: The class with the highest participation (based on the number of students, not donation amount) will win a special treat during their SEL/Advisory class!



How to Donate: Simply scan the QR code on the attached flyer or visit www.millbraetaylorpta.org to contribute.



Thank you for your support in making Taylor Middle School an amazing place for our children!

Warm Regards,

Taylor Middle School PTA

Yes on Measure J

Dear Taylor Families,



With the November 5 election fast approaching, we wanted to take this time to illuminate Millbrae School District's BIG measure on the ballot! 



Measure J is an important bond measure that our schools need in order to make much needed facilities and infrastructure updates that could NOT happen without funding from a bond. 

A few quick facts:

  • The bond measure would raise $95 million for our school facilities and infrastructure.  Previously, the state has funded about 40% of school repairs and construction; this is now 100% the responsibility of school communities!  Every student in all our five schools deserve to be in safe, up to date classrooms and school grounds.  

  • We need a 55% YES vote to pass.  The district's last attempt to pass this bond in 2022 fell short by just about 70 votes!  We have a powerful school community - let’s aim to WIN Measure J for the benefit of our students.

What we need from you:

We cannot stress how important it is to get this bond passed - we cannot make necessary repairs and improvements to our schools without it.  Every helping hand and every vote matters.

Please reach out to the campaign chair, Joy Pasamonte Henry, if you have any questions!
