MVEF’s unwavering generosity enriches every corner of Graham Middle School. From the arts to athletics, smaller class sizes to inclusive clubs, their support transforms opportunities for our students. Whether they’re on stage, in the classroom, or on the field, our students thrive because of MVEF’s commitment to equity and excellence. Thank you for empowering our community to learn, grow, and shine.
Jennifer Gaderlund
Choir Teacher, Graham Middle School
MVEF makes it possible for Graham to have a Spring Musical every year! Through their gifts, we can pay our staff who make the students sing, dance, and act so wonderfully!
Jordan French
Intensive Support Teacher, Graham Middle School
I am grateful for the support and generosity of the MVEF because they recognize and help my club, the Best Buddies club. Although we haven't done any community outings/events yet, I am eager to tap into the generous support offered by MVEF and organize one or more community outings or meals at a local business or park with our Best Buddies program at Graham Middle School. We are excited to begin planning this inclusive activity soon!
Patrick Stoltz
ELA Teacher, Graham Middle School
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. - Patrick Stoltz
Susan Papson
Sports Teachers
Here is what I am grateful for from MVEF. I am thankful that you have funded Graham's sports program. I have been a coach at Graham for over 15 years. 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.
Nick Van Damme
PE Teacher/Athletic Director, Graham Middle School
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. Without bussing, many students would not have the opportunity to get the experience of traveling to another school. Without competitive coaching stipends, the students would not have the quality coaches Graham provides. 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!

Student
First Grade
"The words 'Living Classroom' says it all! Students were very engaged during the lesson as most of it was a hands-on experience. They had many opportunities to explore their surroundings and observe phenomena that otherwise they would have missed. The lessons have definitely planted the curiosity seed in my students."
Andrew Donati
Assistant Principal, Graham Middle School
MVEF’s generosity has been truly transformative for our students, offering essential resources and support that enhance learning while fostering growth, connection, and opportunities beyond the classroom. We are deeply grateful for their steadfast commitment to our school community!
