Mary Lauren exemplifies the heart, drive, and excellence that define this scholarship, and we can’t wait to see where her journey leads!

Did you know??? More than $49,000 of the $256,000 raised at Starlight went directly back to our schools through the Silent Auction!

Each school creates its own auction packages, and every dollar raised goes directly back to that school. As icing on the cake, the Maryville City Schools Foundation matches those proceeds up to $5,000 per school. That means more resources, more support, and more ways to help students and classrooms thrive.

Because of your support, we’re strengthening our community by creating more opportunities for every student in Maryville City Schools.

We love seeing MCSF grants come to life in our schools!

MJHS students got a hands-on look at marketing and media production during a Lunch & Learn with Pursuit Digital.

Fun connection: the video wall used in this experience was funded through an MCSF grant—and we also partner with Pursuit Digital for our website and special event videos. Shoutout to Matt Freels for his work on our Miles 4 Maryville and Starlight videos!

Real-world learning + community partnerships = a win for our students 🎥
