GRAD 2020 PARENTS

 

Did you know parents raised $38 000 for dry grad 2019?

Sounds like a ridiculous amount of money, right?


When you break it down, it's actually about $100 per graduate. For $100, MSS is transformed into an enchanted world where our grads enjoy an evening away from the pressures of studies and life and celebrate this rite of passage from high school. World-class entertainers, a smorgasbord of foodie delights, and an engaging collective experience makes for lasting memories. All this is provided by a group of tireless, dedicated parents who want dry grad to be a monumental event for every MSS grad.

Can you help us? Of course you can!

TIME: You can join with these parents by offering your time for bottle drives, beer & burger nights, a gift fair, soliciting donations, or other fundraising events. We also need help setting up, running, and cleaning up!

ENERGY and CREATIVITY: You can help us transform the school with your creative ideas, skills, and knowledge. We'll need visionaries to pull off transforming a sterile institutional building into an enchanting new world.

MONEY/GOODS: Many of you have schedules that don't allow you to be involved or it's more efficient for you to make a little extra at work than spend your time at fundraising. Some of you have businesses and you can donate products or services for raffles. We welcome all donations. Donate money in any amount at https://mpsd.schoolcashonline.com/Fee/Details/5802/165/False/True

PARTICIPATION/NETWORK: Many of you enjoy attending fun fundraisers and you like to bring friends, grandparents or other family along. We need participation to make these events work.

Please consider giving in one or all the ways above—it's all for the grads! We recognize not everyone has time, money or energy to give. That's ok- no pressure. But if you can help, please do. You can see a full list of events at the Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/460072897966904/ Join us!

"I'm sorry, but I really don't have the time and energy to put into planning and fundraising. I appreciate what you are doing, but I can't help. Can I just donate instead?"

 

We're glad you asked. A donation of $100 would cover your grad and would alleviate the need to fundraise for your daughter or son. If you can afford it, we'd appreciate your donation. For some this is unaffordable, so, if you have more money than time, donating more than $100 will go a long way to covering a grad whose family can't afford to help.

Please consider donating soon- more donations = less fund-raising activities :)

Thanks, from your 2020 dry grad committee! 😊
