Dear Families,
1. Walk-A-Thon
Thanks to your generosity, we are over halfway to our goal but still need $13,000 to hit $50,000! The MRCS community is truly remarkable, as we are not even halfway through May! We are on track to reach our goal, and hopefully surpass it. We have officially reached our second and third Milestone Motivator marker of $20,000 and $30,000, and our high school teacher Mrs. Wilson will be dyeing her hair, and our elementary teachers Miss Sheridan and Miss Lozinski will be taped to a wall at our end of school assembly.
Next teacher challenge will be unlocked when we reach $40,000. Keep going!
The MRCS Walk-A-Thon event will be on Friday, May 30 between 10:30 AM – 2:00 PM. We are using the fundraising platform Raisely to keep track of donations received. Your child’s donation page is ready to be shared with friends, family, and loved ones. If you would like to increase the default goal of $150 for your child, you can raise that challenge and increase it on your donation profile page!
If you have not signed up yet, and would still like to, please look back for emails from our donor relations coordinator, Carolina Louback, regarding registration.
Our goal is to raise $50,000, with 90% of funds being directed towards our third floor building project. 10% will go towards the Friends in Need Food Bank.
Note: All donations received will be given a tax receipt.
2. Walkathon – Items in Need
Thanks to your prayers, support and generosity, we have opened the doors to our new building—but we’re not done yet! The third floor is still waiting to be transformed into a vibrant hub featuring a science lab, food lab, social spaces, and classrooms. We’re rallying together to make it happen on Friday, May 30.
We need a few key items to make the event run smoothly. If you have any of the following, we would love to borrow them on the day of the event:
- 6 canopies/pop up tents
- 12 orange pylons (for traffic control)
- Directional arrows
- 12 traffic control vests (for volunteers)
If you have any of these items, please email our events coordinator, Jessica Marando (). Thank you for supporting MRCS.
3. Grand Opening – Building Expansion
We are excited to invite you and your family to the opening of our building expansion on Saturday, June 14. This will be a community wide event, and a chance to celebrate what God has done for our school community. This building expansion has been long awaited, and we are excited to celebrate it with you!
