IMPACT STORY

Assistant Principal Adam Melichar and CHSM student Cody Breeding share the impact our donors have on students at Complete High School Maize (CHSM).

Thank you to our donors for providing the opportunity for our students to learn this range of executive function and social skills, which are so important for our youth as they prepare to tackle life's challenges and obstacles.

STEAM SURPRISES

MEF set out last spring to help fund nearly $45,000 in STEAM resources.

PTO organizations have made huge contributions to their respective schools. And with the help of our donors, we're excited to say that we are nearly halfway to our goal - with just $24,250 remaining.

2023 FUNDING GOALS

We rely on our donors and sponsors to support our mission of helping Maize students reach the promise of their potential.

This school year's budget is $130,000 to maintain our operations and execute the programs that support our students and educators. So far, we've raised almost $77,000 - we are at 59% of our goal.

That means we still need to raise more than $53,000 this spring. Every dollar counts, and we need your help!

This year, the community rallied more than ever for our annual Giving Tuesday Staff Appreciation effort.

More than 1,625 district employees each received an envelope with more than $30 in gift cards and promotions to enjoy this holiday season. That is more than $50K in support from parent organizations and local merchants.

Special thanks to Fuzzy's Taco Shop for honoring coupons from Torchy's.

There's still time to show our employees appreciation. Contact Travis Bloom for more details.
