EFO Funds Miramonte Today’s students are becoming tomorrow’s leaders. Your gift to EFO continues to benefit our Orinda students throughout their high school years. EFO funding enables students to take advantage of smaller core academic classes and to pursue an array of electives, while preparing for college and life beyond Miramonte. With a commitment of $515,000 for 2011-2012, EFO remains the largest voluntary funding source at Miramonte. This year, EFO will fund five additional English class sections, enabling better student learning in smaller classes. EFO will also fund Mixed Chorus and Jazz Band, all of which would have been eliminated without EFO. Besides academic classes, EFO continues to support student programs, such as library and college counseling, and numerous electives. EFO now provides 100% of the support for all Visual and Performing Arts (VPA) programs. “Small class sizes are especially powerful in English courses that require abstract and emotional reasoning. Literature inspires tough, ambiguous questions that need to be asked in a supportive, tight-knit environment where it’s okay to fail.” —David Beal, Miramonte Student, Class of 2011
“The Foods Class, funded by EFO, along with all other vocational education classes, are indispensable to our students, our schools, and our communities. We strive to give students a marketable and employable skill-set that they can always fall back on no matter what post-high school direction they go.” —Beth Marks, Miramonte Foods EFO FUNDS MIRAMONTE HIGH SCHOOL Your EFO donation funds these programs at Miramonte High School • Academic 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th Grade English Class Size Reduction*; Instructional support for all departments.
