FAMILY FUN RUN
Each year, Vail Mountain School hosts a Family FUN RUN in the fall. Participants take on a 1k or 5k run, followed by a family picnic. Runners, walkers, and those with strollers are all welcome. Please leave all pets at home for this event! To view more information and photos of previous years, please click here.
HOME TOUR
On Sunday, September 18, 2011, Vail Mountain School will open doors to homes and provide opportunities for education in the Vail Valley. The school’s annual Home Tour is a traditional favorite fall event, which raises funds for the school’s financial aid program. Ticket prices include a tour of some of Vail’s finest homes, a beautiful luncheon, a gourmet bake sale, and a raffle with some incredible prizes. Over 300 Vail Mountain School volunteers (parents, teachers, students, and friends of the school) are hand at the event to usher approximately 1,000 visitors through the homes.

BOOK FAIR AND LUNCHEON
The Vail Mountain School Book Fair is an annual event that benefits the school library. Located in the Common, the school is transformed into a bookstore for a week, featuring faculty recommendations, family classics, reference books, books in Spanish, holiday books, cookbooks, picture books, and much more. The week is highlighted by the Food for Thought Luncheon, a gathering of parents, grandparents, and friends of the school. For more information, please click here.
HOLIDAY GALA & AUCTION
Vail Mountain School's annual Holiday Gala & Auction kicks off the holiday season with a fabulous event and live, auction, and silent auctions. All proceeds benefit Vail Mountain School. For more information, please click here.
SUMMERQUEST PLANT SALE

The SummerQuest® Holiday Plant Sale brings vibrant, healthy poinsettias, Frasier Fir trees, and other holiday plants to the homes of SummerQuest® supporters. VMS parent and student volunteers organize the ordering in October and November, and they deliver the plants in early December, just in time for festive holiday decorating. As the largest fundraiser for SummerQuest®, the Holiday Plant Sale indeed demonstrates how “each bloom that brings joy in the winter will help a child blossom in the summer.” For more information, please click here.

FAMILY GARAGE SALE
Don't miss out on Vail Mountain School's annual Family Garage Sale, held each spring at the school. Established by the VMS Parent Partners in 1993, the Garage Sale is a community-wide event that encourages recycling and reusing. Traditionally scheduled in late April, the school dining room is transformed by row upon row of tables and clothing racks where VMS family’s outgrown, gently used, and long-neglected clothing, toys, furniture, housewares, and much more are up for sale at bargain prices. Recently, the sale has added a “designer” section, a jewelry section, and "early bird" shopping on Friday afternoon. Proceeds from the Family Garage Sale are used for student enrichment in all divisions. For more information, please click here.
