SPECIAL PROJECTS LIST
MOUNTAIN MISSION SCHOOL
Groups and individuals often request information, not about basic needs to operate Mountain
Mission School, but want information about SPECIAL PROJECTS. They want to know about
Goods, materials, machines, toys and the like that will enhance and make life for the children
either better, more effective, more exciting or a bit SPECIAL…they are called SPECIAL
PROJECTS.
Listed here are such items that either children or staff have mentioned from time to time as
special in nature, that would really help things along or else be very nice to have, but are not
absolutely necessary.
Then, there are those items that wear out…everything does eventually…and need replacement.
This list contains such items. Some groups show interest in big ticket (expensive) items and
some of these are listed here. These big ticket items are specified with an asterisk. However,
groups interested in big ticket items should inquire about them before starting such a project
because other groups may be working on them or they may have recently come to Mountain
Mission School and have not yet been removed from the list. Items in bold indicate a greater
need.
The grand thing about SPECIAL PROJECTS is that since we are a nationally known and
supported enterprise, people somewhere in the nation may find that rare…extremely
economical…SPECIAL PROJECT making its acquisition a quick possibility. Many people
constantly look for such bargains.
Mountain Mission School sincerely appreciates those who participate in SPECIAL PROJECTS.
