Step Forward Campaign

Thank you for Stepping Forward with us.

Thank you for your interest in the Step Forward Campaign!  We are proud to announce that the campaign concluded successfully in December 2010, with $19.5 million in commitments.

The strategic initiatives outlined in Strategic Plan 2006 (environmental sustainability, technology, and global awareness and engagement) are moving ahead steadily.  As we integrate these threads seamlessly into our curriculum, we provide students with the skills and competencies to navigate their complex and rapidly changing world.

Our beautiful campus improvements – including new and renovated classrooms, administration building, art studios, music spaces and Learning Resource Center, plus playground, Step-Up courtyard and creek restoration – provide comfortable and inspirational spaces for teaching, learning, gathering and play.  Students, teachers, staff and parents have eagerly settled in and continue to discover new ways the buildings enhance curriculum and campus life.

We are thankful for the dedication and leadership of our campaign committee, our Board of Trustees and Lucinda Lee Katz.  Even during challenging economic times, the support of MCDS families, past and present, has been truly remarkable.

As always, if you have any questions, please contact either of us, our Board Chair, Mitch Cohen, or Sarah McKay in the Development Office.  We hope you enjoy reading about our campaign and seeing the beautiful photos of our campus!
