Malcolm X Elementary is a fantastic school with an incredible arts and enrichment program. As well funded as the Berkeley schools are, there is not enough money to cover all the expenses of a comprehensive education like the one your child receives at Malcolm X. Our families and community generously step in to fill the gap with our annual fundraisers.
The money raised helps pay for our award-winning performing arts program, including drama, dance, and music, as well as physical education and recess support, academic and literacy support, and vibrant community programs.
ANnual Fundraisers
MaLCOlm X Fund
Each year, the MX Fund kicks off our annual fundraising with a monthlong drive. Our goal is to raise $100,000 to support our existing arts and academic programs plus our PE and recess coach. Learn more on the MX Fund page.
READ-A-THON
The MX Read-a-thon is a great way for students to share in their love of reading while supporting our school. Students can read books independently or participate in read-alouds with parents, staff, and fellow students.
