parents

The Instrumental Music Parents Association (also known as the IMPA) supports all Instrumental Music programs and directors at MVHS through fundraising and volunteer assistance. All parents of instrumental music students are automatically members of the Association and are encouraged to participate in the IMPA and attend its meetings.

The Instrumental Music Parents Association meets three times per year. All parents of students in any of the instrumental music programs are welcome to attend. Please see the calendar to confirm the meeting dates.

Dollars for Doers: Corporate Matching Gifts for Volunteer Hours

Some corporations have an additional, separate matching program where they will donate money to qualified nonprofit groups based on the number of hours the corporation’s employees have volunteered with that group. Again, please check with your employer on requirements and how to request matches on your hours. Typically, the match is based on the cumulative hours volunteered by all employees (e.g. Person A volunteers 2 hours, Person B volunteers 10 hours, Person C volunteers 8 hours—the IMPA Boosters get a matching gift based on 20 volunteer hours). You will need to correctly designate the Mountain View High School Instrumental Music Parents Association as the recipient when you report your volunteer hours (sometimes our name is incorrect in the database, so please ask for help if you’re not sure which one to pick).
