Saying Thank You

By Heather Bartfai, Director of Alumni, Community & Donor Engagement

As we approach Thanksgiving, I’d like to take this moment to reflect and give heartfelt thanks for the incredible support we’ve received from financial contributions, to in-kind donations, to the generous gift of your time.

Gratitude is more than simply saying “thank you.” It’s about recognizing the deep commitment our families, staff, and broader community bring to QMS every single day. Your support empowers our students to grow with confidence in a vibrant learning environment, surrounded by passionate educators, supportive families and caring peers.

Thanks to your generous donations, our students thrive in a place where they are encouraged to embody our values: Be Curious. Be Kind. Be Brave. Be You.

But our gratitude extends far beyond financial gifts. We are equally thankful for the time and energy you share, whether through co-coaching, serving on our Board of Governors, mentoring students by sharing your passions and expertise, or supporting our Parents’ Association and their many initiatives. Every contribution makes a meaningful difference.

QMS is stronger because of you and I thank you for being an essential part of our journey.
