E-wallets are a NEW feature, so that your child does not need to bring cash to school. Create a personal link to share, so that family and friends can donate to your child’s scholastic fund! Money in your e-wallet not used in full is turned into Scholastic credit.

We will also accept cash, credit cards and checks made out to Mountain Song Community School the days of the event.

If you are unable to attend after school with your child, or prefer to shop online, it is available 3/7 - 3/20, also using e-wallet. Set up an e-wallet account here. 

Visit the Mountain Song Scholastic website here for all the details!
