Supportive Community

Overview

SMLS is a school where wonder, discovery, empowerment and resilience emerge. Donations to The Millie Fund make that possible.

Why Give

One of the many things that make SMLS so special is the support we receive from the members of our community - alumnae, parents, grandparents, staff, faculty and friends. Every day, we see and feel the impact of their generous support.

Gifts to The Millie Fund create a place where girls are challenged and supported to see themselves as change-makers and influencers within an inclusive and global landscape. Your support creates a learning environment where every student thrives - an environment where each student is encouraged and challenged to be their best selves, and where they become curious, creative, collaborative, and confident young women.

The past 132 years have shown the impact of giving for our school community. Together, we can continue to provide an environment where wonder, discovery, empowerment and resilience emerge.
