MCPP/G
These topics and dates are provided as a guide to planning. They can be modified to fit your
specific needs. There are “many paths to success.” Several first year coordinators have begun in
the fall, winter, or as late as March.
Fundraising is a major component of planning, but a successful event can occur even on a small
budget. MCPP/G officers and team leaders are available to help with budget planning. Read more

Schedule Senior Class Parent Meeting (if possible)

January, February or March (or perhaps your school has a “Guidance Advisory
Council” that could plan this event)
- As parents have been the best source of funding, this meeting helps to encourage
donations
