***************
Proceeds from this event will support the Mountain River School Tuition Assistance Fund. Here is some more information about the Fund:
The MRS Tuition Assistance Fund provides needs-based assistance to families to offset the costs of tuition and school activities. The Fund currently supports close to 50% of our K-8 students with a total of $75,000 awarded in the 19/20 academic year. The awarded amount was limited by funding and demand was significantly higher. MRS is committed to developing and maintaining a diverse community of students and families that represent our place in north-central VT. For the 20/21 academic year, our goal is ambitious – to increase the Fund by 50% for a total raised of $150,000. $150,000 will support approximately 20 students. The Winter Carnival is the kick-off for this annual campaign. Please join us! (and, all donations are tax deductible!)
