As a charter school, MVMPCS relies heavily on volunteers to fill many of the essential functions of the school

Volunteers fill key roles such as communications, building & grounds maintenance, and school governance, just to name a few. In addition to helping to bridge the funding gap, volunteering at school helps to build a sense of community. Two-parent/guardian households need to volunteer at least 30 hours each year; single-parent/guardian households need to give at least 10 hours. 

No Time? Donate money

Unlike traditional public schools, Maryland charter schools do not receive separate funding for facilities. Also, they only receive 75%  of the funding traditional schools receive per student. Select the Donate button above to give a tax deductible gift.
