Thanks to all who have participated so far in the Foundation 2018 Parent Class Annual Fund Challenge! There is still plenty of time to support the Governor's School Foundation Annual Fund. The Governor's School Foundation Annual Fund makes a huge impact on the students at MLWGS by directly supporting activities like academic competitions and student travel, as well as new technology, and student financial assistance. The support of our parents is critical in these efforts and we are most grateful for your continued commitment.
Every year during the Annual Fund Parent Class Challenge, parents from each class compete for the greatest percentage of participation. Help your child's class land on top! Current parent participation is as follows:
Senior parents (2018): 35%
Junior Parents (2019): 59%
Sophomore parents (2020): 44%
Freshman Parents (2121): 53%
We still need to raise more than $60,000 in order to provide the same level of enhancements next year. Make a contribution now. Thank you for supporting this work!
