Dear OMS Community,
We are thrilled to announce the successful conclusion of this year's Campaign for Our Community.
Because of the extraordinary generosity of our community, we exceeded our $125,000 campaign target, raising $127,869.31 in support of OMS’s student-athletes.
Thank you!
This achievement would not be possible without the collective commitment of our families, alumni, coaches, and friends who believe in the transformative impact of our mission.
Every gift, regardless of size, played an important role in helping us reach this milestone and we extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who contributed! Your support strengthens our ability to provide exceptional opportunities for student-athletes both in the classroom and on the mountain.
We are proud to recognize the many individuals and families whose generosity made this success possible. Please see our donor recognition page below.
On behalf of the entire OMS community, thank you for your partnership, enthusiasm, and belief in our student-athletes. We are deeply grateful for your support and look forward to building on this momentum together.
With warm regards,
Mariel Meringolo
Head of School, Okemo Mountain School
U12 and U10 Head Coach, Okemo Competition Center
The Impact of Annual Giving
“OMS has provided me with a unique opportunity. Ski racing is a special sport. It has brought me all around the world, given me countless extraordinary experiences and unforgettable memories, and shaped me into who I am. I can’t thank the OMS community enough for how many doors it has opened for me and will continue to in the future.”
“OMS opened my world to new connections that still last to this day. Having gone to a tiny public school in Vermont, meeting new kids and parents through OMS was huge for me. I’m still close with many of those friends, and have intersected with many (plus their parents) in the business world too.”
“One of the best parts of OMS is the community. Our team has been together for many years. I have spent a large part of my life traveling, competing, and learning with my teammates and I am confident they will be my lifelong friends. I am so grateful for the adventures we have had together and look forward to the next chapter.”
“I love OMS because I get to snowboard everyday, both at Okemo and at other mountains. My coaches are really nice, supportive, and challenge me to do my best. I also like the small classes and the teachers. I have met really good friends who are both skiers and snowboarders.”
““OMS is an amazing community that has helped me, not only with my skiing and academics, but also throughout season-ending injuries. The teachers and coaches are always offering support and encouragement. OMS has played an important role in my recovery and I am so grateful for this community!” ”
“I love OMS because I have learned so much about time management skills and balance. I was able to learn from my coaches, teachers, and friends and this variety of learning led me to become a better athlete, student and person.”
