It Wasn’t All a Dream —
The ICON Era Is Back!
The 90’s called. MSIMS answered.
Join us for Mountain Shadows Montessori School’s signature gala on Saturday, May 9th at 6:00 pm and most impactful fundraiser of the year. Parents, alumni, faculty, friends, and community partners gather for one unforgettable night, with every dollar raised going directly to the children we serve.
The ICON Era transforms The Winner’s Circle into an immersive, full-venue gala experience. With exclusive access to the entire facility, the evening blends elevated dining with a high-energy 90s afterparty vibe.
Throughout the evening, guests will enjoy curated cocktails and mocktails, exceptional food, a powerful live program, dynamic silent and live auctions, and interactive attractions and games woven seamlessly into the experience. The dance floor keeps the energy alive well beyond the final bid.
Come dressed as your most iconic self, bring your people, and enjoy an epic night out, all while helping shape the future of our children.
Welcome to the ICON Era.

Because Mountain Shadows Montessori School is a 501(c)(3) and a licensed Colorado child care provider, qualifying donations may be eligible for the Colorado Child Care Contribution Tax Credit.
This unique program allows donors to receive up to 50% of their monetary contributions back as a Colorado state tax credit, in addition to existing potential federal and state tax deductions.
That means your support can have a much lower true cost than the face value of your gift!

Important: Tax benefits apply only to the charitable portion of a contribution.
