With a special guest appearance by former Director of College Counseling Marsha Powell, it was a true homecoming.
To date, the Marsha Powell Fund — a need-based scholarship fund designed for Mount Vernon alumni and families of alumni to financially assist Upper School students who otherwise would not be able to attend MVPS — has raised $23,491.
In addition to Alumni Night at the recent MVPS Varsity boys/girls basketball games, several alumni events are already being planned for spring!
