Welcome to Friends of Mayer Magnet School
Friends of Mayer (FOM) is a not-for-profit group of parent volunteers whose mission is to support Mayer via fundraising and community building initiatives in order to support the mission and day-to-day operations of Mayer Magnet School.
FOM depends on Mayer’s vibrant community to reach its mission. From attending the events, volunteering to help the day of, to joining a planning committee, there are many ways to help.
Reach out today to find out how you can Get Involved!
Humble Designs Philanthropy
On April 3, come help with this feel-good event (on a school day-off).
Bring these items to Mayer's front entrance on Clifton Ave.
Donate items from your home to house other families - their clients are 60% children, and 98% of those clients remained housed thanks to your assistance.
Contact FOM Philanthropy to coordinate donations of larger items, or schedule for a different day - so far, we've already increased our truck loads to accommodate the positive feedback!
We welcome all help, so bring your kids for creativity (and their old toys for donation)!
