What is the 2011-2012 SERVE-A-Thon?

SERVE-A-Thon is the only fundraiser MRCA has each year.  This year's 8th Annual SERVE-A-Thon is October 17-21.

What is the purpose of SERVE-A-Thon?

There are two purposes of the MRCA SERVE-A-Thon.  One purpose of SERVE-A-Thon is to serve our community in a variety of ways by working with local agencies.  The other purpose is to raise funds to reach our current technology goal of a SMARTBOARD in every classroom.  

How much money needs to be raised this year?

Our monetary goal for the 8th Annual SERVE-A-Thon is $50,000.  If each student raises a minimum of $120, we will meet our goal.  Students are encouraged to contact family, friends, neighbors and others for donations.  All money should be turned into teachers no later than Friday, October 21st.  If MRCA students, faculty, and staff meet the goal of $50,000, then the Wednesday prior to Thanksgiving, November 23rd, will be a day off of school. 

When will my child serve?

The staff of MRCA contacts local agencies to determine the needs of each agency and a date is set for each grade level to serve.  Some service projects will be brought to the school and completed on the premises, while others are off campus projects.  Students involved in off campus service projects are transported on the MRCA buses and chaperoned by faculty, staff, and parents to assure a safe environment. 

Why does MRCA have an annual SERVE-A-Thon?

Our theme this year is based on Matthew 16:24,25 Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himeself and take up his cross and follow me.  For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it.  This year our students will be encouraged to be transformed by letting go of the old and embracing the new by stepping out in our culture and living out their faith. What better way for the students of MRCA to be transformed than by serving and helping to transform the life of others.
