A big thank you to Bank of Marin for their incredibly generous $25,000 sponsorship supporting SchoolsRule-Marin.

We’re so grateful for your continued partnership and commitment to ensuring that ALL students, in every district, have access to the opportunities they deserve.

It was wonderful to gather with our amazing foundation leaders at the Marin County Office of Education—your collaboration, passion, and dedication are what make this work possible.

Together, we are investing in arts, literacy, technology, and health programs that truly make a difference.

Thank you for being champions for ALL students. ❤️

The stage was filled with beautiful paper flowers, each one thoughtfully created by students from Mill Valley Elementary schools, with special notes written on every flower. The room was filled with family, friends, and colleagues, together honoring a life that touched so many of us.

A gorgeous song by the Mill Valley Middle School Chamber Choir brought both tears and smiles. Trisha’s celebration of life, hosted with love by Mary Jane Burke, included heartfelt words from friends, Trisha’s husband, children and family, reminding us all of the deep love, impact, and community she built.

Thank you to Jared Huffman for the meaningful recognition from the U.S. House of Representatives.

The room was truly filled with love, gratitude, and community, just as Trisha would have wanted. We love you forever, Trisha and miss you dearly 🖤❤️

Every single one of the astronauts heading to the moon on Artemis II started in a public school.

Right here in Marin, over 30,000 students are building the skills, confidence, and curiosity that can take them anywhere, even to the moon.

Every child, in every public school, in every district deserves the best possible educational opportunities.

Because when we invest in ALL students, there’s no limit to where they can go. 🚀

Today we also want to recognize the women helping carry the SchoolsRule-Marin mission forward.

Executive Director, Melinda MacKaben and Operations Manager,
Naomi Engelman work every day alongside our community partners, donors, Marin realtors, Marin County Office of Education, and local school foundations, to ensure students across Marin have access to the programs that help them thrive — from arts and technology to literacy, health, and wellness.

Because of strong women, strong leadership, and a community that believes in public education, the work continues.

Earlier this week we celebrated International Women’s Day, and we wouldn’t want the week to pass without recognizing the incredible women who helped build SchoolsRule-Marin.

Our amazing co-founders, Mary Jane Burke and Trisha Garlock, had the vision that every child in Marin deserves access to the resources that help them thrive in school and in life.

SchoolsRule-Marin would not be what it is today without their leadership, dedication, and belief in the power of community. We are deeply grateful for the foundation they built and proud to continue the work they started. ❤️🖤

✨ What if every child in Marin had equal access to the resources they need to thrive?

With your support, that vision can become a reality.

Marin is filled with passionate people who believe in the power of education, creativity, and community. When we come together, we can ensure every student has the opportunity to succeed.

📚 Today, March 4, is Give-Education Day.

Your support of SchoolsRule-Marin helps provide critical programs in arts, technology, literacy, health, and wellness to students in every district — regardless of zip code.

Because when we invest in all students, we strengthen our entire community.

❤️ Think beyond your own. Invest in every student’s future. Link to give in the bio.
