From our school social worker: The Thanksgiving holiday fundraiser was a huge success. Thank you to all who donated! Your generosity helped to provide $50 Shaw's gift cards to 60 families at all 4 MRPS schools. The same group of parents has launched a winter holiday fundraiser, with a very ambitious goal. Here is the link to that fundraiser: https://www.gofundme.com/f/holiday-help-for-montpelierroxbury-families Ellia Cohen (MHS school social worker) can be reached at 225-8023 or elliacohen@mpsvt.org for holiday assistance.
