2022 Fundraising Goal

Welcome to our Spring Gala Auction! We would like to thank you for supporting this special event. We have worked tirelessly to put together a robust auction assortment for our largest annual fundraiser.  With your help, the funds raised through this auction will go back directly to the schools.

Each year, the Mendham Borough HSA extends a capital improvement grant to our school district. Hilltop Elementary and Mountain View Middle School are recipients of this grant on alternating years.  This year, Mountain View Middle School will be receiving our grant.  The funds will be used to make improvements to the Outdoor Learning Center. 

Mountain View's Outdoor Learning Center is located on the east side of the building, and currently serves as a courtyard for students and classes to gather.  With sufficient funding, the space will be modified to include updated drainage, a retaining wall with seating, new walkway, relocated garden boxes, a pergola, and weather resistant furniture.  These updates will enable teachers and students to use the space as an outdoor flex space, and enhance the teaching toolset for our teachers.

We are so grateful to everyone who has made this auction possible and for the generosity of parents, the schools, and local businesses. All funds raised as this year's Denim and Diamonds Gala and Silent Auction will go directly to fund this project.  We thank you so much for your generosity as we continue our work in enhancing the educational experience for our students.
