VMS Annual Fund
Dear Family and Friends of Valley Montessori School,
The VMS Annual Fund supports enhancements to our programs that we would not be able to realize through tuition dollars alone. At VMS, we get to use annual fund dollars to realize our dreams! The more we each contribute, the more we can provide in special programs and initiatives that will benefit all of us in the VMS community.
Last year’s gifts to the VMS Annual Fund allowed us to enrich our campus and programs for the children in the following ways: We supplemented the PE program with a new basketball hoop system and a volleyball set, installed a new sound system in the gym to be utilized for events throughout the year, created a new hallway library for children of all ages to enjoy, enhanced our Spanish program with new materials and an additional teacher, purchased new books for the lower elementary reading program, supplied our middle school students with new and updated science text books and added ten new computers to our classrooms.
This year our dreams include:
Your participation is essential:
It all adds up! At VMS, we are completely dependent on tuition revenues and annual giving. We ask that all past, present and future families take part. Your participation—at whatever level is appropriate for your family—is very important. Each family's situation is different, so gifts range from $10 to $10,000. But whatever the level, your contribution is very important.
Contributions have the potential to generate matching funding. Many employers provide matching funding opportunities that could double your gift to VMS.
Each gift encourages additional external support. Our gifts send an important message that we believe in the mission and programs of our school, and also allow us to continue providing a quality, child-centered education for every VMS student.
I believe that together we can realize a stronger than ever Annual Fund program and all enjoy the benefits these resources can bring to our school! Our goal is 100% parent participation to help us build community support for our wonderful programs. The results could make a huge difference here at VMS!
Please make a gift and give as generously as you can!
If you have questions, feel free to contact me.
Best,
Roz Hamar
Head of School
