A Culture of Giving
Children have been thriving at WSMS for over 60 years thanks to our community’s generosity. WSMS has been more than a school – it’s been a joyful, kind, nurturing home for our children and families.
In our classrooms, every child is seen, heard, and known. We create an intentional environment where children grow in confidence and compassion, develop a lifelong love of learning through exploration and curiosity, and form lifelong, life-shaping relationships with teachers, peers, and families.
WSMS Gives is our fundraising program, made up of two parts:
Why We Need Your Help
In simple terms, like all independent nonprofit schools, tuition and other revenue cover about 92% of what it costs to run WSMS each year. The rest comes from you, and it’s what lets us invest in the extraordinary teachers who know your child, keep our classrooms exceptional, and make sure a WSMS education stays within reach for families.
The gap your gift fills
$14 million over 5 years
WSMS Gives comprises two complementary fundraising efforts that work in tandem: Annual Giving and the Growth Campaign. We’re growing together to raise $14 million over 5 years – $4 million through Annual Giving and $10 million through the Growth Campaign.
This dual approach ensures we can maintain the excellence of our daily operations while investing in our school’s future through essential building improvements, expanded financial aid, and enhanced professional development.
