In lieu of flowers, Mara’s family has set up a memorial fund to upgrade the Bergeson multi-purpose room.  Mara loved the arts and the school will be upgrading the sound system and staging area per the family’s request. 

Checks can be made out to the “Bergeson PTA” and include in the memo line “Mara fund.”
