As we approach the end of 2025 and celebrate being one-third of the way through our school year, I want to extend heartfelt thanks to our entire QMS community. Your support, energy, and partnership continue to make this a strong and successful year for our students.

This season is not only a time for reflection and celebration, but also an opportunity to invest in the programs and experiences that help our students thrive. If you are considering a year-end contribution, whether to our Annual Fund or any of our other programs, please remember that donations made before January 1, 2026, qualify as a tax deduction for the 2025 tax year.

Thank you for your continued generosity and for all you do to support our values of Be Curious, Be Kind, Be Brave and Be You. Wishing you and your families a joyful holiday season and a bright start to 2026!
