Miramonte Class of 2016 alumna Sabrina Ionescu has gone on to become one of the most accomplished players in women’s basketball, earning national honors in college, being selected No. 1 in the WNBA Draft, and winning both a WNBA Championship and Olympic gold. Alongside this honor, the school is launching the Gymnasium Modernization Campaign to invest in important facility upgrades. While the naming celebrates Sabrina’s legacy, the campaign focuses on modernizing the space itself. The Miramonte gymnasium has long been a central space for athletics, school spirit, and community events. Nearly every student passes through its doors as an athlete, a performer, a fan, or a participant in school-wide gatherings. It is one of the most visible and heavily used spaces on campus, serving students and athletes year-round. Your support will help transform the gymnasium into a safe, modern, and inspiring space for students and athletes. Campaign funds will support visible and meaningful upgrades, including: Exterior & interior paint Updated gym floor and equipment New bleachers and cross-court hoops Scoreboards, signage, and muralsSports banners and refreshed trophy case Every gift, large or small, brings us closer to completing these improvements. SUPPORT THE MIRAMONTE GYM MODERNIZATION CAMPAIGN Join us in transforming this central campus space for the next generation. RECOGNITION Donors who give $2,500 or more will be recognized on a donor wall in the gymnasium. QUESTIONS? Contact us at executivedirector@oneorinda.org .

- WHAT WE DO | ONE Orinda
The goal of ONE Orinda is to bring more resources to support Orinda schools by consolidating and streamlining fundraising under a new foundation. what we do how funding works why fundraising is essential one dollars at work what we do ONE bridges the gap between what the public funding covers and what our students truly need. In partnership with Parents’ Clubs and the broader Orinda community, including school families, alumni, and local businesses, ONE raises the funds that sustain the programs and staff essential to an exceptional education. From smaller class sizes to STEAM and technology, wellness centers, electives, and expanded high school offerings, ONE’s grants directly fund what sets Orinda’s schools apart. join us WHY FUNDRAISING IS ESSENTIAL WHY FUNDRAISING IS essential Excellence in Orinda’s public schools isn’t guaranteed - it’s funded. California ranks near the bottom nationally in per-student public education funding. Orinda receives among the least in the state. As costs rise and state support lags, a growing shortfall threatens the quality of education in our schools. That’s why ONE exists: to bridge the gap. Each year, we work with our school districts to identify exactly what’s at risk. ONE’s grants, built directly into district budgets, fund teachers, academic counselors, electives, supplies, and services that would otherwise be reduced or eliminated. For the 2025-26 school year, ONE must raise $5.7 million to meet the needs of all six Orinda public schools. Our schools are a cornerstone of Orinda’s identity. Preserving that excellence depends on all of us. how funding works Public education in Orinda is funded through a combination of state dollars, local parcel taxes, bond measures, and community fundraising - each with a distinct and limited role. STATE FUNDING California provides only a portion of basic education costs, and Orinda receives some of the lowest funding in the state. PARCEL TAXES Approved by Orinda voters, parcel taxes help fund teacher salaries. These dollars are vital but restricted. BOND MEASURES Bond funds are designated for facility upgrades and maintenance. They cannot be used for programs, personnel, or classroom resources. ONE FUNDRAISING ONE raises private dollars from school families, community members, and local businesses to fund the people and programs that public dollars don’t cover. This support isn’t supplemental, it’s essential to delivering the well-rounded, high-quality education Orinda schools are known for. "It takes an entire community to educate our students, and Orinda exemplifies that model. Our schools and our students benefit from the tremendous generosity of our highly engaged community to ensure that we offer education at the highest level. OUSD is grateful for the incredible partnership with ONE and the Orinda community.” -- Aida Glimme, Superintendent Orinda Union School District ONE Dollars At Work Orinda’s excellence is powered by community giving.

Students often choose to enter the STEAM Lab during recess, working on a variety of intriguing projects. Opening the STEAM Lab has changed the landscape at Sleepy Hollow as we find ourselves looking forward to going to the lab, enjoying the experience once we are in the lab, and referencing our learning after we have left the lab. It serves as an integral part of our campus for everyone from TK all the way to fifth grade. The 4 C's: Critical Thinking, Communication, Collaboration, and Creativity are put into practice in the STEAM Lab every day.” -- Patsy Templeton, Sleepy Hollow Principal Orinda Intermediate School (OIS) ACADEMIC PROGRAMS & INSTRUCTION Funded 27 courses, including Foreign Languages, Music, Art, Drama, Public Speaking & Debate, Ceramics, Chorus, KOIS Video Production, Leadership, Maker Space & Woodwork, Robotics, and Yearbook Maintained full 1:1 technology access Funded a librarian to support literacy, research skills, and academic enrichment Provided math and STEAM instructional coaching Supplied core academic materials for all subjects STUDENT ACADEMIC SUPPORT Funded technology upgrades and academic software Supported professional development to enhance instruction STUDENT ACTIVITIES & ENRICHMENT Supported Lunchtime Clubs and Sports, including Page-Turners Reading Club, Pickleball, Basketball, Knitting & Embroidery, Green Team, Creative Arts Club, and Mouse Squad (Computer Club) Funded student-led programs such as WEB (Where Everybody Belongs) ACADEMIC COUNSELING Funded counselors who guide students in class planning and elective selection throughout middle school At Miramonte, our course offerings provide students with much more than academic instruction.
