"The Graham Athletics program would like to send a big thank you to MVEF! MVEF's generous donations make it possible for Graham Middle School to provide an Athletic program that allows all students the opportunity to play an after school sport...Your support and funding allows Graham Athletics to run smoothly and gives our students an amazing opportunity that many schools do not have. Thank you!"

PE Teacher/Athletic Director, Graham Middle School

Susan Papson

​

"Here is what I am grateful for from MVEF.  I am thankful that you have funded Graham's sports program...With the support from MVEF, it allowed students who didn't have the means to participate in any sports activities.  This allows all students an equal opportunity to participate.  Without their generosity, many of our lower income students would never have had a chance to be on a team.  For that reason, I am very grateful."

"Grading and giving meaningful feedback is definitely the most difficult part about teaching ELA.  Thanks to MVEF we have smaller classrooms and thus I have fewer papers to get through.  That means I can give more and better feedback to my students."
