Drive for Schools 2015
Drive for Schools Thank You!
We are sending out a sincere “Thank You” to everyone who participated in this year’s Drive for Schools campaign. Our ticket sales raised a total of $15,598! While nobody in our community won the car, three MMS families won prizes! Many of our students did an outstanding job of selling tickets.
We want to celebrate everyone’s hard work, collaborative spirit and success as classes. This type of community effort greatly benefits our school as a whole.
Our top ticket sellers this year were:
- Sera, PreK
- Sophia, PreK
- Giavanna, Kinder
- Harrison, 1st grade
- Eduardo, 2nd grade
- Shirin, 3rd grade
- Bridget, 4th grade
- Paris, 4th grade
- Taylor, 5th grade
- Riley M, 7th grade
- Phoebe, 10th grade
We want to thank everyone for helping our children to feel empowered and enthused in support of their school. All of the money earned from such events goes right back into our 2015-16 operations and program.
We are pleased to welcome back to all of our wonderful returning faculty members, with a special welcome to new faculty.
