Mount Vernon is able to provide many fun events and activities for our school families.  All of these are possible only because of our wonderful parent volunteers.  Volunteering is a fun way to get involved with activities that support our school and benefit our children.  If you would like to volunteer with any of our school events, please contact the committee chairpersons listed below. 

 

Annual Fund
Philanthropic and tax-deductible gifts to the Annual Fund provide the most important support for the school mission and for our students and teachers.
