Dear Alumni Families of Mountain Road School,
Greetings from the recently formed Alumni Association. We are parents
of MRS alums - our kids range in age from 11 to 26! Our goal is simple,
our motive, partly selfish: to create a way for alumni and families
to stay in contact with each other and MRS, while strengthening and
advancing the school’s mission.
As we’ve watched our well-prepared children make the transition
from Mountain Road to other schools and into the world beyond, we
feel a deep sense of gratitude for the “heartfelt education”
and values the school instilled, and for the connections that will
last a life-time. These values are stronger than ever at Mountain
Road, which is why we, as alumni families, can so easily do our part
to support its mission. You are receiving this letter because:
? you attended Mountain Road School
? your child(ren) attended Mountain Road School
? you were a teacher or staff member at Mountain Road School
No matter what your role or past personal experiences, at some point
the values of a spiritual community and respect for the earth and
her diverse inhabitants brought you to MRS,
as it did for each of us. For 32 years Mountain Road has offered children
and their families an opportunity to be involved in a very special
community of people. Now we are the Alumni Family and together we
can still make a difference in children’s lives and in the world.
But we need your help. Though the school has a database, over the
years we have lost track of many people. Below is a “Tell Us
What’s Up With You” card, where you can provide updated
info and some personal news. Please take the time to copy and fill
it out and if possible, email your response to info@mountainroadschool.org,
as we are hoping to transition from snail mail to email. Put “Alumni
Association” in the subject line.
Once we know how to reach you, our plan is to send a periodic e-newsletter.
It will contain information on upcoming celebrations and events (which
we encourage you to attend), keep you updated on the growth of Mountain
Road School, and let you know about the achievements of MRS Alumni.
And of course, no respectable Alumni Association would be doing its
job without asking for a donation every now and then.
Thank you for your participation and interest. Mountain
Road School is still a very special place where magic and learning
go hand in hand.
