It Wasn’t All a Dream —

The ICON Era Is Back!

The 90’s called. MSIMS answered.

ICON Era is Mountain Shadows Montessori School’s signature gala and most impactful fundraiser of the year. Parents, alumni, faculty, friends, and community partners come together for one unforgettable night, with every dollar raised going directly to the children we serve.

Inspired by a decade that defined cool, ICON Era is a time-machine of music, fashion, and fearless self-expression. That bold energy carries through the evening, building from nostalgia to elevated celebration and culminating in FULL ICON MODE.

Come dressed as your most iconic self, bring your people, and relive the decade, all while helping shape the future of our children.

Welcome to the ICON Era.

Why This Night Matters

ICON Era is a party with purpose.

As a nonprofit, MSIMS relies on this event to directly support education. Every dollar raised goes back into classrooms, teachers, and programs that help students thrive.

And it’s also a seriously fun night, great music, great people, and a joyful evening on our beautiful campus celebrating where our children learn and grow.

Come for the fun. Leave a lasting impact.

THESE CHILDREN WILL CHANGE THE WORLD.

Sponsorship Opportunities

We partner with businesses who believe in children and the power of education.

Sponsorship offers your organization:
- High-visibility recognition within the Boulder community
- Alignment with a mission-driven Montessori institution
- Connection with engaged families, professionals, and local leaders
- Recognition across event signage, digital platforms, and print materials
Whether you are a local business or a larger organization, your support directly strengthens classrooms, supports educators, and expands access to authentic Montessori education.
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!
