MDE School's annual benefit is a lively event where parents and community leaders join together to
raise funds for our non-profit special needs school. We expect 200 guests to attend the event. Our
goal is to raise $50,000 to enhance our academic and enrichment programs for our students. The
evening will include craft beer, BBQ dinner, silent auction, raffle, a Fund-a-Need appeal, and music by
the Shadowood band.

MDE School is a not-for-profit school that helps children with
special needs who cannot be successfully served in a
traditional educational setting. We assist our students to
reach their full potential by providing individualized education,
enrichment, and life skills training in a nurturing environment.
The school serves K - 12 students with varying disabilities,
including, Autism, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy,
communication disorders, and learning differences.
In addition, MDE School expanded in 2021 to offer MDE
Vocational Academy to help students aged 16 and above
transition into adulthood with life and vocational skills
training.MDE School was founded in 2009 by Mindy Elkan, who
currently serves as the director.
