Maeve McKean Cluster Cares Fund

The COVID pandemic has taken a toll on families across DC, including the Cluster community. In response, the Cluster PTA – in close consultation with school administrators and social workers – has launched a campaign specifically to help our Cluster families in need. Contributions will help families pay bills, buy groceries and medicine and take care of daily essentials. While the PTA has facilitated setting up the fund, our administrators/family support team will make donation decisions. Before our PTA President Maeve McKean passed away, she worked tirelessly to get this fund set up. In her memory, this donation campaign will be named the Maeve McKean Cluster Cares Fund.
