Families Connected: A Community of Support No matter what parenting philosophies or personal experiences guide us, we all have a common goal when it comes to our children — for them to lead healthy, fulfilled lives. Most parents know firsthand that this journey to adulthood can be challenging, especially with the vast array of distractions that can get in the way. Social media, stress, depression, peer pressure, and yes, also drugs and alcohol, all challenge us as parents in our pursuit of this goal. But we are not alone, and neither are our children.

MBUSD School Board Workshop: Promoting Balanced and Resilient Students Wednesday, November 18, 5pm - Mira Costa High School Small Theater Board workshops are interactive meetings where all participants have the opportunity to contribute. This workshop will focus on secondary students. The Board will be discussing the factors that may contribute to the unhealthy stress that our students experience, and examine the causes and possible solutions. Several MBUSD Board goals this year refer to promoting the socio-emotional health of our students. The goals specify building an infrastructure that supports student success. Stress is unavoidable, but we may be able to take actions that can prevent unhealthy stress in our students. Teachers, parents, and students themselves can all play a role in developing balanced and resilient students. Discussion topics will include student schedules, homework loads, activities and electives. The success of the workshop depends on participation! Please join this very important discussion. Parents, students, teachers and staff are all encouraged to attend.

Thank You for Supporting the SKECHERS Pier to Pier Friendship Walk! With participation from 12,000+ walkers, this year's SKECHERS Pier to Pier Friendship Walk raised more than $1.4M for our schools and the Friendship Circle! There is nothing more inspiring than being in the company of 12,000 friends, neighbors and strangers - all walking together, raising money for South Bay schools and the children served by the Friendship Circle. A GREAT BIG THANK YOU to our MBUSD families, teachers, clubs, and sports teams for coming out and supporting MBEF through the Walk! We’d also like to thank SKECHERS President Michael Greenberg and the SKECHERS Foundation for including MBEF and all of the local Ed Foundations in this wonderful event. Finally, congratulations to the Gebhardt family from Grand View and the Doran family from Pennekamp for winning the participation raffles!
