Weekly Newsletter
Student-Led Community Meetings
Each week, our students take the lead in guiding meaningful community meetings that foster connection, accountability, and shared responsibility. These gatherings are a space where students initiate conversations around real classroom issues—such as resolving conflicts, caring for materials, and respectfully sharing communal spaces. Together, they brainstorm solutions and reflect on how those solutions are unfolding in practice.
Beyond problem-solving, these meetings are a celebration of unity. Students lead the group in song, recite our Peace Pledge, and even deliver a meteorologist report to keep everyone informed and engaged. We are excited to see how our students rise to the occasion, not just as learners, but as leaders.
Friday Share Day
This week students can share a drawing, poem, or story about caring for our community.
Our Community
Montessori Professional Learning Fundraiser
As credentialed Montessori educators, we must complete 50 hours of professional development every five years to maintain our certification.
This year, several of us will attend:
• The American Montessori Society (AMS) Conference in Washington, D.C.
• The Montessori in the Public Sector (MPS) Conference in Milwaukee.
These conferences provide training from leading Montessori experts and opportunities to share best practices that directly benefit our classrooms and students.
The cost just in registration fees for 10 teachers will be close to $8,000. We are asking for half of that amount through this fundraiser to help make attendance possible.
Attending requires funds for registration, travel, lodging, and meals. Each year, teachers organize and run fundraisers to cover these costs. This GoFundMe is one of those efforts.
Your support will:
• Cover a portion of registration and travel costs
• Strengthen Montessori classrooms with new strategies and resources
• Support future professional development (any unused funds will roll over to next year)
By donating, you are directly supporting teachers and investing in students.
Thank you for helping us continue to provide high-quality Montessori education that nurtures curiosity, independence, and a love of learning. Any donation, big or small, makes a difference.
