Wow! Thanks to your generosity, the Montrose Spring Ball was a spectacular success, raising more than $300,000 for the school.
Thank you to everyone who bid enthusiastically, volunteered, donated items, bought raffle tickets or contributed to the exciting Raise the Paddle effort – to remake the M&M Building as the new school cafeteria. Your tremendous support for the Spring Ball enhances the educational experience of every Montrose student.
We are grateful to my Spring Ball co-chairs and volunteers who helped put the evening together, our dedicated Board of Trustees, and the entire Montrose community for your generous support and enthusiastic bidding. With your support, we can continue to call our students to greatness of mind, heart and character so they can discover their noble purpose and transform society for the good.
All are welcome! Our spring event usually is attended by Montrose parents, alumnae, parents of alumnae, grandparents and friends of the school. It is a great opportunity to invite your friends who you think might be interested in having their daughters attend Montrose, or who appreciate the Montrose mission. The more the merrier!
The night starts with a reception with appetizers and an open bar. During this time you can chat with friends and bid on our Silent Auction items.
Guests are seated at tables to enjoy a light dinner and dessert, followed by an exciting Live Auction that usually features competitive and highly spirited bidding!
Once dinner is over we will dance the night away to big band music.
All proceeds from the Spring Ball directly support the student experience at Montrose, as we call every girl to greatness of mind, heart and character.
Every year, the evening includes a "Raise the Paddle" segment in which we ask our generous guests to donate to a specific item, which will support our ability to deliver on the Montrose mission for our students.

We bid on Montrose auction items because Montrose provided a transformational experience for our daughter. The school shaped her spiritually and intellectually in a way no other school could have done.
