Dear Families,
1. Walk-A-Thon
Thanks to your generosity, we have raised over $46,000 and are almost to our $50,000 goal! We are on track to reach our goal, and hopefully surpass it. We have officially reached our fourth Milestone Motivator marker of $40,000, and our middle school teachers Mrs. Brown, Mr. Unger and Ms. Lius will be attempting the ice bucket challenge at the end of school assembly in June!
The next teacher challenge will be unlocked when we reach our goal of $50,000. An additional Milestone Motivator challenge will be revealed if we surpass this initial goal. We could not have done this without your help! Let’s 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
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:
- Pop-up tents
- Tall orange pylons
- Directional signage
- Traffic control vests
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!

4. Photographer on Site – Website Update
On Friday, May 23, we will be having a professional photographer on site from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM to update our marketing materials for the MRCS website. If possible, we ask students to wear their best MRCS merch or similar colour schemes to the MRCS logo: blues, whites, navy, etc. We ask that students refrain from wearing any bright neon colours, big logos, reds, oranges and pinks.
Thank you for supporting our school as we prepare to update our promotional materials!
