What We Do
JMAP's goal is to support students and teachers and enhance programs and the classroom experience. We hold fundraisers such as our electronics recycling, dinner fundraisers, and our annual Muirathon (walk-a-thon) and Silent Auction to raise money for our school.
On April 16, 2011 over100 John Muir students joined their families, teachers and staff in our 1st Annual Muirathon and Silent Auction. Everyone had a great time walking and shopping and we raised over $13,000 for our school! |

Twelve teachers received Teacher Grant financial awards in 2010-11 for various classroom projects including field trips to museums and a 7th grade visit to SDSU, classroom art equipment, and a classroom speaker/activity about life in the pioneer days. |
| JMAP works with Home Start, a non-profit
organization that helps at-risk children and families. We collect
gently used items throughout the year, and also lead a Holiday Toy
Drive in December. Several Muir families helped distribute toys. |
