The Miramar Ranch Family-Faculty Association (FFA) is the parent-teacher organization (similar to a PTA) at Miramar Ranch Elementary School in the San Diego Unified School District. Our motto is "A Nonprofit Organization Dedicated to Excellence in Education". We are registered with the Internal Revenue Service as an IRC 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Your contributions to our organization are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by the law. All money raised by the FFA stays at Miramar Ranch Elementary to benefit the students of the school.

The purpose of the FFA is to enhance educational opportunities for the students at our school. Our volunteers work hard to give our children learning opportunities the school district simply cannot provide. We hold a fall pledge drive and fundraisers throughout the year to raise money for these activities.

The money we have raised over the past few years has paid for a public address system for the school, new computers for every classroom and a new media center with 40 computers, and other important supplies and equipment for the school. In 2007 we will provide document cameras and video projectors for 12 classrooms and a $60,000 science lab for the school.

In addition, the FFA supports all of the enrichment activities for the students of Miramar Ranch Elementary. Here is a partial list of these activities:
