At Marin Primary & Middle School we make education meaningful, while encouraging pride in self, respect for others, and enthusiasm for learning.

The Marin Primary & Middle School community thrives because it shares a common goal: to provide and maintain an educational environment reflective of the school’s values and mission. Together, we have made a commitment to academic excellence, to treasuring childhood, and to the inspiration necessary to help children make a difference.

we treasure childhood.

We honor and enjoy children’s natural curiosity, competence, and exuberance.

we teach to reach children.

Using teams of teachers and educational methods tailored to how children learn best, we connect with our students, build trusting relationships, and make learning relevant, memorable, and fun. we teach children to reach.

Asking not “how smart is the child” but “how is the child smart,” we guide our students to see their full potential, and we equip them to pursue it with passion and purpose.

we inspire children to make a difference.

We value academic excellence, personal integrity, and community action and encourage our students to become informed, engaged, and ethical global citizens.

Gifts from our loyal and generous donors and volunteers enable us to educate, nurture, and help children to reach their highest academic and creative potential, to develop personal integrity, and to become active contributors and ethical global citizens.

Donations to MP&MS are not only greatly appreciated, but essential to sustain the quality and variety of programs our children benefit from every day.

We are a community of more than 300 families and 80 faculty and staff members, many of whom make a commitment to MP&MS every year through enthusiastic financial support. Join us!

Sincerely, Yukiko Meadows, Director of Development

ANNUAL FUND

TEACH

REACH

The Annual Fund is the cornerstone of fundraising at MP&MS and relies on the generosity of current parents, alumni, trustees, employees, grandparents, and friends. The Annual Fund helps provide the difference to support the day-to-day operations of the school and to keep tuition as affordable as possible. Annual Fund dollars make it possible for us to maintain our campus, attract and retain the best faculty, provide professional development opportunities for our staff, fund programs in art, athletics, and music, and purchase classroom materials, information technology, and equipment.

CAPITAL CAMPAIGN

GALA AUCTION

We hope to launch Phases III and IV in the near future to continue to enhance our community, facilities, and student learning.

DEVELOP

The annual gala auction, hosted by the MP&MS Parents Association, is the school’s premier event and provides a critical contribution to both the school’s annual operating budget and fund-in-need campaign. Each year, the MP&MS community comes together to contribute the time, money, and resources necessary to produce this amazing fundraiser. It is also a wonderful night out for all who attend and a broader celebration of our children, faculty, and staff.

Support and participation from our community for the silent, online, and live auctions, as well as sponsorships and underwriting, help to make this event a success.

Donors to capital projects understand that exceptional teaching must take place with excellent tools, including classrooms that accommodate the latest technology as well as enough space to climb, play, learn, and gather outdoors.

Our current capital campaign, Building for Their Future, is a multi-year program to improve our school’s facilities. The improvements completed in Phases I and II provide inspirational spaces for teaching, learning, community activities, and play.

Our goal is to achieve 100% participation in the first 100 days of school.

VOLUNTEER LEADERSHIP

NURTURE

Volunteerism is key to the ongoing success of MP&MS. It is an invaluable contribution through the gift of time and talent, builds community, and sets an example for our students.

We offer a variety of options for volunteering, from services that require shortterm commitments to projects that span the whole school year.

As our children see parents, grandparents, and alumni give generously of their time and talent, they learn the importance of giving back and getting involved.
