FUN RUN

 Our first fundraising event happens every fall when all students, regardless of ability, join together to have fun and raise money for our school (carergivers can join, too!). Last year our community rocked it with raising over $50,000! For classrooms that meet their goal of $110 per student, $400 will be earmarked for their class account.

Where Does the Money Go?

The money raised from FUN RUN goes towards:

The Games department. Campus enhancements.

Music, Art, and Theater programs.

Continuing education for our teachers.

Field trips. Scholarships for instruments.

Mountain Phoenix Community School Winter Market 2022
Sponsored by Family Council

WINTER MARKET

A local artisan community market and fair. The Winter Market is our seasonal pivot toward the winter and holiday season. With food, crafts, and artisan goods bringing us together to gather again before we retreat and reflect during the darker months, it is a joyous day of festivities.

How is this a Fundraiser?

The money raised from booth rentals covers the cost of the event and ensures that we can continue our community events. 

The funds raised at the Student Marketplace booths goes directly to the class/grade accounts which helps to lower costs of field trips as well covers extra needs for the classroom.

Book Fair

To foster inclusion and a love of reading, we host an equitable book fair where every child leaves with a book! Funded by an optional fee and angel donations, no money is exchanged during school class visits, though families are invited to shop after school where the event becomes a wonderful Family Council fundraiser.

March 15-19, 2027

How is this a Fundraiser?

Every contribution to our book fair serves a dual purpose. Optional book fair fees, angel donations, and proceeds from book sales directly fund our equitable book fair initiative, ensuring every student takes home a book during class visits. Any leftover proceeds go directly to Family Council to help support all the wonderful community events they host throughout the year!

Submit a Fundraising Idea

There are a wide range of fundraising activities that our community conducts on behalf of the school. These activities include large-scale programs (e.g., Fun Run) that the whole school benefits from and participates in. They also include smaller activities that raise funds for a specific class /group such as MPCS apparel sales, restaurant night events, and retail store promotions where a portion of the sales go back to the school.

For more information on the scope of our fundraising efforts, read the MPCS Fundraising Policy.

Do you have a fundraising idea? 

In order to maximize our fundraising efforts (and avoid scheduling conflicts and fundraising “fatigue”) all school philanthropy is coordinated through the Fundraising Committee, which includes representation from school administrators, faculty and operations, as well as members from the Governing Council, Family Council, and Foundation. 

If you have a fundraising idea you would like the Fundraising CommitteeFoundation to consider, please fill out the MPCS Fundraiser Proposal Form and submit for approval by the Fundraising Committee. When completing this form, be as detailed as possible, providing as much information as you can about anticipated expenses, expected income, volunteer logistics, etc. 

The Fundraising Committee typically makes a decision within one week and will reach out if there are any additional details that are needed to make a decision. Be sure to submit your fundraiser request at least a month before the proposed event. Planning your fundraiser early helps to ensure it’s a success!
