Curious Minds: Engaging Young Minds
and Exploring Possibilities
Open your children's eyes—and your own—to a whole new way of learning. Curious Minds is an education series for parents and children ages 18 months to 4 years. The free sessions, held from 9-10 a.m. in the Lee Community Room, provide tips and ideas on innovative ways to enage and excite your children. Join us on Thursday, April 5, for Self-help Skills Every Child Should Know, featuring USM's prekindergarten faculty Muffie MacKedon Browne and Jennifer Keppler. |
Children of USM Alumni Eligible for
Uihlein Scholarship
Did you know? Children of USM alumni who attended for four or more years are eligible for financial assistance from a scholarship fund provided through the generosity of Polly MDS’38 and Henry Uihlein MCD’39. The Polly and Henry Uihlein Alumni Scholarship Fund, in addition to other financial aid opportunities, is intended to assist those students whose families might not otherwise be able to fully cover the cost of a USM education. If you have any questions, please contact Eric Peters, director of enrollment management, at epeters@usmk12.org. |

Gifts of Stock Still a Good Choice
Here is an idea you may find helpful, especially in light of the changes resulting from the passage of “The Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017.” If you own appreciated stock, you may want to consider donating some shares to USM instead of making cash gifts.
If you continue itemizing your tax deductions, you could claim an income tax charitable deduction for the current value of stock you donate. (You must have held the stock for more than one year.) The added benefit—even if you no longer itemize deductions—is that you pay no capital gains tax when you donate stock to USM. Please visit our website for more information. |
