Magellan teachers, administration and parents enjoy collaborating through Magellan Partners for Education, also called MaP, to help make the Magellan experience great for everyone!

Passive Fundraising
Passive fundraisers are another way to support Magellan Partners in Education (MaP) and the Magellan Charter School. They often ask families to register and designate what school or non-profit organization they would like to support, and do not cost any extra money on behalf of Mariner families. Below are passive fundraising opportunities for MaP and Magellan in which we currently participate.
