Montgomery Academy Students
Provide Magic Moments for Two Kids
On April 27, Middle and Upper School students gathered to present one gift,
and the next day Lower School students presented another. In both cases, MA
students and the Public Service Committee had worked with Magic Moments
to make the dreams of a local child come true. Hallie went to a Justin Bieber
concert this summer; Abigail and her family took a trip to Disney World.
These gifts were made possible by a school-wide effort lasting from August
to April, during which MA raised funds for Magic Moments, an organization
dedicated to providing special trips and experiences for children coping with
life-threatening conditions. The effort proved successful beyond even the
most hopeful expectations, raising $16,000. Parking place raffles, a dodgeball
game, bake sales, T-shirt sales, chances to throw pies on Pi Day, admission
fees for a dance and sales of Valentine hearts and candies all contributed to the
total. Students from grades K-12 had a hand in the campaign; they planned,
organized and participated in events throughout the school year.
