Support Our Schools and Share Their Success!
if you've got loved ones in the school system, you know someone who benefits from a donation to MRPS Partners in Education. Let’s make this school year a great one!
Money raised through the Montpelier Fall Festival and other fundraisers goes directly to our students and staff in a myriad of ways: from field trips and sports teams to staff appreciation and classroom needs.
Donate to a particular school, or to PIE’s General fund, which funds programs across the school district.
Donations are tax deductible through MRPS Partners In Education, the 501(c)(3) umbrella organization for MRPS school caregiver groups. Checks can be mailed to: MRPS Partners in Education, 5 High School Drive, Montpelier, VT 05602 (note on the check which caregiver group you wish to fund).
Your donation will enrich the 2024-2025 school year for our students. Thank you for your support!
Activities supported by PIE: clockwise from top left: MSMS dances; RVS garden cleanup day; MHS ultimate frisbee; RVS staff appreciation breakfast; MSMS thank you card; MHS robotics club.
