Endowment Fund
The legacy of an incredible woman benefits our campus in so many ways.
The Tracy Collins Schwartz Endowment (TCSE) Fund was established in memory of Tracy Collins Schwartz. Tracy was the President of the Montessori School of Denver Parent Association for the 2007-08 school year. The mother of three MSD students, Tracy worked tirelessly on behalf of the school. She loved life, embracing each day to the fullest. No task was ever too small, and her enthusiasm and love for the school were evident in everything that she did. Although Tracy’s unexpected passing left a void in our hearts, Tracy’s work and spirit live on. The purpose and use of the Endowment Fund are to remember Tracy each year by creating an extraordinary experience for the students at MSD.
Each year we commemorate the memory of Tracy Collins Schwartz, with a special event designed to deliver an extraordinary experience for our students. Extraordinary TCSE Fund experiences have included:
