Annual Fund
Your Annual Fund Donation Directly Funds:
- Enrichment opportunities for our students.
- Facility improvements including outdoor learning spaces.
- New technology and learning materials.
- Professional development for our faculty.
Your donation makes the difference between a great educational experience and a truly outstanding one!

Our Goal
For our fiscal year – which is July 1 through June 30 – we strive to achieve 100% participation from the Board of Trustees, faculty, and families for a total of $75,000 for new equipment, enrichments, and improvements. Gifts of all sizes make an impact!
SMS also celebrates Giving Tuesday, the international day of giving and the largest day of giving at SMS. Following Thanksgiving, we have Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Giving Tuesday. Many families contribute on this day to participate in the Giving Tuesday movement.
