MRPS PIE Family Support Fund 26-27

Every year, MRPS PIE works alongside our outstanding social workers in all 3 MRPS schools to get resources directly to families who will benefit from support. This is a meaningful way for neighbors to support neighbors and to share the love that is so strong across the Montpelier & Roxbury Communities.

Our goal this year is to raise $10,000! If you can help, please donate. And consider sharing this page - on social media, email, or any way you can!

100% of donations go directly to families in need within the Montpelier Roxbury school district. These funds will be distributed over the course of the year, as needs arise. MRPS Partners in Education (MRPS PIE) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. All donations are fully tax-deductible. Visit our website for more information.

Montpelier Fall Festival - 10 YEARS STRONG!

On October 3 we held our 10th Montpelier Fall Festival! It was an awesome day with music, games, dunk tank, 1-mile Fun Run and most of all, gathering with our amazing community! MRPS PIE is grateful for the support from students, staff, families, volunteers, performers and our corporate sponsors. Through corporate donations and generous festival-goers, we raised over $15,000 which will be distributed to the three schools in our district and be available for all kinds of activities to benefit our students.

Run by volunteers and fueled by community, the Montpelier Fall Festival has raised over $100,000 to support local public schools' many initiatives. MRPS PIE would like to thank all volunteers and community members who came out for the annual Fall Festival. Want to get involved? We are already thinking about next year, so please reach out to help bring this festival to life: festival@mrpspie.org

Who is PIE?

PIE works with the parent/caregiver groups for each of the district schools and the school staff to identify areas of need that need support. We connect with local organizations and community members, raise funds from individuals and businesses, and host events like the Montpelier Fall Festival, staff appreciation events and charitable giving.

Staff Appreciation Breakfast

In May, to honor our amazing MRPS Staff, PIE held a district-wide breakfast in the schools. We provided coffee, homemade quiches (from Peg’s Pantry) and many other delicious foods to the entire staff at UES, MSMS and MHS. Volunteers helped deliver the goods, set up, clean up and decorate, Thanks to ALL who helped!!

Current Projects

“Food as the Foundation”

At the heart of the Food as the Foundation Project is The Garden Collective – a collaboration with the MSMS Sustain Program. We are connecting local gardeners, farmers, and volunteers in a program that expands student opportunities to participate in our local food system. Food is grown on the school grounds, in private local gardens, and in city spaces. Fresh food is prepared at MSMS and distributed to the community through Just Basics Food Pantry and Roxbury’s Food Shelf. To find out more, join our email list!

Get Involved

Volunteers are critical to the success of our organization. They come in all varieties from serving on a Board, technical assistance, event management and supporting an event. Throughout the year, there are many opportunities to get involved! To get involved or find out more, email director@mrpspie.org
