Our annual Gala, “Mira Vista Lights,” happening on February 5, 2022 at the Albany Veterans Memorial Building. This community event aims to raise funds for the Mira Vista PTA. It's a fun evening dedicated to our school, with music provided by parents and locally catered. We do provide teachers and their partners with complimentary entry. We also provide a generous sliding scale to make the event accessible to our entire community. 

Mira Vista School is a Richmond K-8 public school, and is in the top 5% most diverse schools in the nation. 58% of our families qualify for free/reduced lunch. Our PTA is committed to ensuring that all of our students have equal access to enrichment and educational experiences beyond the classroom. (Mira Vista’s PTA tax ID # is 94-6184036.) The Mira Vista PTA funds art and music programming but our largest contribution goes towards funding field trips. Each bus averages $1200 and with 36 classrooms, this means we aim to raise almost $45,000 for field trips alone.

This year we are aiming to partner with Playworks to provide our students with a coach. Playworks is an Oakland-based national nonprofit that supports learning and physical health by providing safe and inclusive play to low-income students in urban schools. Playworks works with schools to design curriculum and activities that offer play opportunities during recess, lunch and after school programs.
