Annual Giving Campaign

Each spring, Kiddo! launches the Annual Giving Campaign to raise funds for the upcoming school year. Currently, the Mill Valley School District faces a difficult financial environment, with significant budget cuts from the state, increasing student enrollment and an economic downturn that limits property tax revenues. As the MVSD’s main fundraising organization, Kiddo! is committed to raising the additional funding necessary to protect the quality educational programs over 2,900 Mill Valley students receive.

This year we must raise $950 or more per student to cover the costs of programs provided, and we aim for 100% family participation at any level. Your 2010 contribution will also save library and classroom aides from being eliminated due to budget shortfalls. Please help us in this exceptional time of need by giving as generously as you can. Excellent schools need everyone’s support.

Kiddo! Scholar Circle

In response to the increasing financial needs of our schools, Kiddo! is continuing the Scholar Circle giving level, which recognizes our most generous donors of $5,000 or more. We hope you will consider becoming a Member of the Scholar Circle today. Scholar Circle benefits include:

• Invitation to the Scholar Circle special event – September 23, 2010
• Listing on next year’s Kiddo! Stationery
• Listing in next year’s Published Donor List by Level
• 2010 New Kiddo! Decal
• And the thanks of over 2,900 Mill Valley students!

By reaching for this new level of giving, you will help maintain the exceptional programs and services that Mill Valley students deserve!
