As a community, we did it! We raised $120,000 to invest in a new fitness centre that supports our diversifying student population and our School’s commitment to health and wellness. Thank you!
Message from our 2019 Gala Co-Chairs
“QMS is devoted to growing and improving its facilities and programs, making it the best place for students to learn, play and grow. The annual Gala is an integral part of raising funds to execute our betterment initiatives, while bringing the community together for a fun night in the name of a good cause. I believe in the School and the education and values it imparts on my daughters, and that is why I enthusiastically donate my time to the Gala Committee. It is an honour to work with a group of forward-thinking, dedicated volunteers who believe in the School, and who, along with our generous donors, are key to the Gala’s success each and every year.”
“Investing in our children’s growth and future potential is something we can all relate to, and fundraising through the annual QMS Gala has one of the most direct impacts on our children’s lives. The growing league of families and community members who donate their time, talents and financial contributions year-after-year, allows the enrichment of the schooling experience for all of our kids through the special projects the Gala funds. I am incredibly proud to work alongside some of the most talented and giving volunteers; the depth of their commitment and the support of our generous donors continues to strengthen the future success of QMS.”
