Farm Festival

List of 2 items.

  • What is Farm Festival?

    The MCS Farm Festival is an annual street festival and community fundraising event that takes place on the third Saturday of October. It is organized and staffed by MCS parents.

    Although we could not convene our annual community-building and fundraising event on West 85th Street this year, we still provided a fun-filled day featuring a raffle, auction, and “live” entertainment for all ages! Revenue from Farm Festival is critical to supporting annual operating expenses not met by income from tuition. 

     

  • How Can I Support?

    There are many ways you can support Farm Festival:
Due to restrictions on gathering around COVID - 19, MCS temporarily renamed our marquee fundraiser to Big Night In! On April 24 our community came together to honor the legacy of MCS educators and their impact on progressive education. 

Big Night In! personified the spirit of our community and was a meaningful way to gather despite not being able to do so in person. To hear from so many of our students, faculty, alumni, families, and friends about what makes MCS’ educators so special was heartening and important. I hope you are able to watch the recording soon and that it makes you feel connected to one another through this common experience we all share. 

Big Night Out!

List of 2 items.

  • What is Big Night Out!?

    At Big Night Out!, MCS’ annual spring benefit, we celebrate and honor members within and outside our community who embody our core values. The evening takes place at an off-site venue and includes dinner, dancing, live music, an awards ceremony and an auction. All members of the MCS community (including alumni who are 21 and older) are invited to attend.

  • How Can I Support?

    There are many ways you can support Big Night Out!:
    • Purchase a ticket or an underwriting table
    • Bid on unique and fun auction experiences
    • Purchase or solicit companies to purchase an ad in the Big Night Out! program book
    • Bring a friend. Big Night Out! is a wonderful way to introduce a special friend, family member or potential supporter to the mission, successful alumni and the rich diversity of the MCS community.
    • Make a monetary gift. (Monetary gifts underwrite the cost of MCS staff tickets and event costs. A gift of any amount is greatly appreciated and is 100-percent tax deductible.)
