Annual Phon-a-Thon Campaign - November

Please give generously
when you are called!

Phones ring across Mercer Island every November when our board members and 200 enthusiastic community volunteers call friends and neighbors raising private support for our public schools: their students and teachers.

Annual gifts made at Phone-a-Thon provide needed resources to support student learning by matching critical educational needs of the school district with the generosity of our donors who are passionate about excellence in our public schools.

Contributions are used annually for identified and prioritized funding needs for students and their teachers across the district. Donations provide exciting new, relevant classroom curriculum and materials, staff development and provide programs for struggling students that are considered essential to ensuring that all students meet or exceed district, state and federal standards for success.
