Ways To Support Our School
Bee Involved: Volunteer
Calling all Helper Bees! We’d love your help and expertise in a variety of different areas across our school. Let us know what interests you! Thank you in advance for your commitment to Morris Brandon Elementary School. If you have any questions, please contact the PTO co-presidents at: presidents@morrisbrandon.com.
The Bee Fund
The BEE Fund is the largest source of funding for the Morris Brandon Elementary School Foundation, supporting critical resources and enhancements not covered by the operating budget. You can make an impact on the experience for each student, faculty, and staff member on campus.
What is the BEE Fund?
The annual BEE Fund campaign is the most effective way for Morris Brandon parents to provide resources for the school and our teachers. Gifts to the BEE Fund support the Morris Brandon Elementary School Foundation, which is the non-profit Foundation that funds resources not covered by the Atlanta Public School budget, such as curriculum enrichment, capital improvements and the “extras” that make your child’s Morris Brandon experience special.
2025-2026 BEE Fund Goal: $275,000
Deadline to Donate: October 3, 2025
