About this fundraiser:

Our Mission & Vision: The mission of West County Mandarin School (WCMS) is to educate the whole child with the 21st Century skills to thrive in a globally connected world. The WCMS community is bonded by the desire to provide a quality, multilingual education that prepares our students to become critical thinkers and leaders. WCMS seeks to educate the whole child with a program that features dual language immersion AND integrates technology, cultural awareness and social emotional learning. Subsequently, our students thrive academically, physically, and social-emotionally. They are bilingual and biliterate in both Mandarin & English and they are empathetic, respectful of diversity and of myriad perspectives.

Our Goals: WCMS is a K-8 Mandarin Immersion, International Baccalaureate (IB) school. Our program provides support for academic achievement, social and emotional growth, talent development, and an opportunity to serve the community. WCMS is one of the most ethnically and socio-economically diverse schools within our district. We also provide equitable access by allocating 50% of our enrollment for students who qualify for free and reduced lunch, are English learners, or are foster youth.

Sport-a-thon: WCMS's Sport-a-Thon will fundraising goal this year is $70,000 to support vital school enrichment programs, like physical education that is not funded by the district. Physical activity is critical for the health and well-being of children of all ages. Studies show that physical activity not only helps with health and physical fitness, it can also enhance important skills like concentration and problem solving, which can improve academic performance.
