ART TEACHER
Students attend weekly classes with a credentialed Art Teacher where they learn about different artists and cultures and create art with different mediums.
-
COUNSELOR
Los Perales’ School Counselor works with students in brief counseling sessions, mindfulness, social skills lessons, and the popular Lunchtime Clubs.
-
LIBRARIAN
The Los Perales Librarian maintains the school library, hosts weekly student visits where kids can check out books, and helps students find new books to love.
-
MUSIC TEACHERS
Students attend weekly classes with credentialed music teachers. In 4th and 5th grade, they have the opportunity to be in the choir or learn an instrument in the orchestra or band.
-
SCIENCE INSTRUCTORS & SUPPLIES
Students attend weekly science classes with a credentialed Science Instructor. They engage in learning and conduct experiments in a dedicated lab setting.

READING TUTORS
Reading Tutors work with students between Kindergarten and 3rd grade. When teachers have this extra support, they have more time to dedicate to all the students in their classroom.
“I started as a teacher at Los Perales in 1969, and the classroom looked remarkably different. MEF has grown into such a rich resource for our students!”

“Because of your support, we have preserved art and music programs while many other districts have had to eliminate them.”
DR. JULIE PARKS
MSD Superintendent
“The Blue Crew was organized by our Science Teacher Mrs. Tang. It helps our school be an environmentally-aware community.”
LOS PERALES STUDENT
Every student benefits from MEF grants, so we ask every family to contribute.
“I think books are important, and there needs to be someone to take care of them. That’s why we need a librarian!”
LOS PERALES STUDENT
Why do you give?
“I’m so grateful that we have music teachers who bring the love of voice, instruments, movement, and song into the lives of our kids! If you can escape to music, life’s challenges are never as daunting.”
