ms. Mckinnon and ms. Mclaughlin are running the boston marathon!
Two of our very devoted teachers are preparing to run the Boston Marathon on behalf of the Mather School. They would LOVE your support to raise much needed money for field trips to enhance classroom learning. Field trips do not only make learning fun, but they expose the world to our students and allow them to experience things they might not otherwise have the opportunity to do on their own. Please consider contributing to this very essential need to prepare students for a successful future! https://www.crowdrise.com/emmyandmkrunthebostonmarathon/fundraiser/emilymclaughlin1
