One Day for MICDS

This Valentine’s Day, we really felt the love on campus as our MICDS community from near and far came together to participate in One Day for MICDS, our annual online giving challenge in support of our students and our School. And, our community is certainly one of over-achievers as our goals were exceeded at every turn! Parents went all in for our students and made a big difference, with overall participation numbers increasing significantly. A gold star goes to the 1st-grade parents who are leading the pack with 100% participation!

Almost 400 alumni, parents, grandparents, parents of alumni, and friends collaborated to raise over $190,000 for the MICDS Fund in the blink of an eye! The entire day was a wonderful show of support and school spirit. Several generous donors issued matches and challenges throughout the day and night, and our MICDS family stepped up every time.

We are so appreciative of all those who participated and we are floored by the outpouring of generosity from all of you on this year’s One Day for MICDS.

On behalf of our students and faculty who are the direct beneficiaries of your support, we thank you for making MICDS your valentine this year!
