Update: The final numbers for Drive for Schools 2016 are in! We raised $16,947.00…that’s over $1,000.00 more than last year. Way to go MMS Hawks!!

Congratulations to the MMS top ticket sellers by school division: 1st place – Phoebe, (11th), Ben (7th), Giovanna (Kinder); 2nd place – Kaili (10th), Grace (7th), Harmony (2nd); 3rd place – Noah (9th), Taylor (6th), Jaxson (3rd).

The community booths were quite successful in both bringing in money for MMS and in the fun shared by those who participated. Drive for Schools is the perfect opportunity for our students to connect with surrounding communities and share the spirit of the mountain. It was great to see so much enthusiasm and confidence as our students spoke about the wonderful programs MMS has to offer and then articulate how the funds raised would be used to support those programs.

Thank you to those who participated in other ways such as purchasing the tickets outright or selling to friends and family. A special thank you to MMS Faculty and Staff who encouraged students to sell tickets and educated them about the necessity of fundraising to keep MMS programs afloat.

Through the collective support from everyone in the MMS community we had a very successful campaign this year! The drawing took place Sunday, October 23 at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk Neptune’s Stage. Congratulations to all the winners of the drawing.

MMS is participating in the Drive for Schools fundraiser sponsored by the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and the Capitola Auto Mall Dealer’s Group.
