Valley Montessori School has enjoyed a history of successful fundraising and volunteerism. Past and current parents, alumni, grandparents, faculty, staff, and friends have given generously of their time and financial resources to support the needs of the school. VMS relies on this ongoing philanthropic support to maintain the excellence of its education. As always, Valley Montessori School's mission is the basis for all of our fundraising efforts.

In general, we hold two main fundraising events each year: Our Annual Giving Campaign, which we begin promoting in October, and our wonderfully entertaining Annual Gala and Auction held this year on March 15th at the Robert Livermore Community Center.  Next year's Gala will be held on April 4th 2009 - Save the Date!

We also encourage our families, alumni and friends to use the VMS eScrip program. Fundraising is viewed as a critical form of parent involvement. Gifts to VMS directly benefit our students and faculty, improve our facilities, and help us keep tuition lower than it would otherwise be. Everyone is invited to help however they can - by contributing their talents, time, and resources to help us provide for the children. We are extremely grateful for the generosity of our community.
