Let’s Do This Approaches the Finish Line

After nearly three years of vision, generosity, and collective momentum, Mount Vernon’s Let’s Do This campaign is approaching its finish line. What began in October 2023 as a bold idea is now on the brink of becoming reality, setting the stage for new spaces that will serve students for years to come.

What comes next

This summer, Mount Vernon will break ground on the next final piece of the Let’s Do This campaign:

• A new field house adjacent to the new field
• Locker rooms, restrooms, and concessions to serve the baseball and softball complex

These additions are more than facilities; they are spaces designed to support student-athletes, foster community, and elevate the everyday experience of being a Mustang.

“This campaign has always been about more than buildings,” said Kristy Lundstrom, Head of School. “It’s about creating environments where students are known, challenged, and inspired. These final projects ensure that every student, on the field, in the stands, or simply gathering with friends, experiences a campus designed with purpose.”

For student-athletes, those spaces represent something deeply personal.

“Having spaces built for us, locker rooms, a field house, it changes how it feels to show up every day. It tells us that what we’re doing matters, and that we’re part of something bigger than just our team.”
— Mollie Martin Class of 2026, Softball

“Right now, we make the most of what we have. But knowing these spaces are coming, it’s exciting. It’s going to bring our teams closer together and make game days feel even more like home.”
— Will Curry, Class of 2029, Soccer

Finishing Strong, Together

To carry the campaign across the finish line, Mount Vernon has launched the Brick Campaign, a limited-time opportunity for families, alumni, and supporters to become part of the school’s physical story, in addition to finalizing outstanding major gifts.

For a gift of $1,500, supporters can reserve one of just 200 commemorative bricks, permanently installed on the MAC patio, a central gathering place and gateway to the Upper Campus expansion.

Each brick represents more than a name. It is a visible, lasting expression of belief in what Mount Vernon makes possible.

“Mount Vernon shaped so much of who I am. Having a chance to leave a permanent mark on campus feels like coming full circle.”
— Beau Reinking, Class of 2025

What Your Gift Makes Possible

A new gift of $1,500 is both a contribution to the future of Mount Vernon, and a permanent place within it.
Each contribution helps:

• Fully close out the Let’s Do This capital campaign
• Bring the final campus projects to life
• Ensure every space is ready for students in the coming school year

As part of their gift, supporters receive a custom-engraved brick permanently installed on campus, with the option to be recognized as a campaign participant.

Donors of $5,000 and above will be listed on a permanent donor wall commemorating the LDT Campaign.

A Place That Lasts

Positioned at the corner of the MAC, the patio will serve as a central hub of campus life—a place where students gather, families connect, and milestones are celebrated.

In the years ahead, it will also tell a story.

A story of a community that came together to imagine more, invest boldly, and follow through—right to the very end.

“These aren’t just facilities, they’re environments where students build confidence, resilience, and connection. Having spaces that match the level of commitment our students bring every day is incredibly meaningful.”
— Jennifer Brown, Athletic Director, Engagement & Experience

“Moments like this define a school,” Lundstrom added. “Not just what we build, but how we build it, together.”
