The MMS Annual Giving Campaign has begun and we are striving for 100% participation from our Families, Faculty, Board and Trustees. At MMS, our tuition covers only a portion of the actual cost of running the school. We rely on everyone for tax deductible donations to help cover the costs of operation this year and keep tuition affordable for families in the coming years. Our 2010-11 Annual Giving goal was $100,000.
We are SO excited to announce that the Mount Madonna School community has achieved our Annual Giving Campaign goal of $100,000! Together, parents, faculty, staff, board, grandparents, aunts and uncles, special friends and alumni have donated a total of $110,483 to support this year’s programs at Mount Madonna School.
We are currently at 91% family participation. We are still aiming to reach the equally important goal of 100% family participation.
