Justice, Equity, and Inclusion

Past uses of funds from these groups include BAM's Black History Night, Music and Dance Performances and Salsa classes for kids and families by the Latinx Affairs group, assemblies about Ability Awareness with the Axis Dance Company, books for school-wide read alouds, guest speakers in support of BAM's Pride activities, and the Lion Dance performers at BAM. 

Support: The Arts

Without your support, there would be no “arts” in Berkeley Arts Magnet. Each year, funds raised by the P.T.A. are spent on our arts education program. While external programs have been temporarily suspended due to the pandemic, classroom teachers are supplementing their arts supplies. Arts funding has included:

• High quality art paper for painting
• Costumes for Gold Rush plays
• Chinese New Year Lion Dance
• Oil pastels
• Black History Month Performances​

Support: The Library

700 books went missing during distance learning last year! $10,000 is budgeted for 2021-22 to support:

• Replenishment of existing titles in the main library
• Acquisition of new titles covering diverse subject matter for the main library
• Replenishment of books in the classroom libraries​
