The first Kite Day took place in 1957. Now, over 50 years later, this fun-filled day features games and activities, a picnic lunch and, of course, kite flying!

Begun in 1958, the Book Fair exemplifies the MCDS community's love of literature and reading. The week-long celebration includes a festive Opening Night Buffet and Preview, a luncheon with a noted author as speaker as well as student assemblies with visiting authors. Proceeds from the Book Fair benefit the MCDS Library.

Each spring, we come together to celebrate and build community with a dinner dance in support of sliding scale tuition and a fund in need.

Since the school's founding in 1956, a commitment to inclusion has been an essential part of our philosophy and school culture.

The MCDS community, and every student's educational experience, is enriched by a mix of families from economically diverse backgrounds. Your support is an important part of this vigorous fundraising program and makes a profound difference to the MCDS community.

Students in grades K-5 participate in the Walkathon each spring. Proceeds from this event support indexed tuition.

Step-Up Day is a joyous occasion at MCDS. The entire community gathers to celebrate the accomplishments of the school year. Eighth graders "step up" and off to high school and all other students "step up" to the next grade.
