Scarecrows for Good
Be the envy of your neighborhood while supporting your community!
The harvest scarecrow raffle has been a tradition at MVM for decades. In 2020, we put a new twist on the tradition by turning it into an Adolescent Community service project called Scarecrows for Good. Run by the 7th and 8th grade students in the AC Community Outreach Leadership Committee, Scarecrows for Good raises money for a charity selected by the AC class.
Each year, students in the Community Outreach Leadership Committee choose charities which are important to them. They research these charities and presentations are made to the rest of their class. The 7th and 8th graders then vote to select one charity. Each classroom at MVM creates a scarecrow to be raffled off.
This year, all money raised will go to the Northern Nevada Children’s Cancer Foundation, the AC selected charity. The Northern Nevada Children’s Cancer Foundation is a non-profit organization that enhances the quality of life for children with cancer and their families by providing financial assistance and compassionate support programs, all while advocating for increased research funds and raising public awareness.
