🌟 Help Us Grow What Makes Community Magnet Charter School Extraordinary! 🌟 Dear CMCS Families, Each year, our Annual Pledge Drive is the cornerstone of what makes Community Magnet Charter School such a vibrant, enriching, and inspiring place for our children to learn and grow. This year, we need to raise $280,000 through pledges alone—nearly two-thirds of our total fundraising goal—to continue offering the exceptional programs and support services that define the CMCS experience. While we ask you to give at whatever level is most comfortable for your family, we are kindly requesting each family to contribute $1,100 per student. Please note that our per student request was raised very slightly this year. This minimal raise will help with our increased fundraising goal and to ensure we maintain Community’s amazing programs and the valuable resources all of our students benefit from.
