St. Mark’s Society

The St. Mark’s Society is the school’s principle community-service and social outreach organization. Led by a team of student officers and program leaders, the group meets weekly to oversee it sponsorship of regular and special projects and events that help create school spirit and raise funds for various programs of outreach to the community.

Fund Raising

The Society has been raising funds to provide for the welfare of families and children in the Marlboro and Worcester area during holiday seasons and other times of the year. Through various fundraisers and appeals it also maintains an emergency cash fund to provide for immediate disbursements throughout the world in times of crisis. At the end of each academic year, additional funds are dispersed on recommendation of the School community and vote of the Society officers. Other projects are generated to meet specific needs as directed by the officers.
