Thank you for participating in MCN FUNdraising! When you make a donation to the MCN, it directly benefits MATES.

Your personally meaningful donations fund MATES programs like Art@Lunch, Run Club, Movie Night, Family Dance, Winter Art Gallery, STEAM Night, and many more. Donations also provide for technology maintenance and needed upgrades and replacements.

Since MATES is an Arts and Technology themed charter school, gadgets such as computers projectors and iPads are integral to the curriculum. MCN donations help to repair and replace technology as needed to continue keeping the students engaged in learning.

The wish list items include replacement teacher laptops, iPads for the Primary Grades, replacement of student laptops to be done in intervals, and replacement projectors.

In addition to replacing these equipment, we are also always looking to advance in technology to work on bringing MATES to the forefront.

Furthermore, we provide funds for classroom supplies, support the library, and make significant cash donations to MATES for campus improvements.
