If you are paying cash, the cost of field trips for the year is $18 and if you choose to pay online, the cost is $19. You may send the money in with the signed permission slips or pay online by clicking School Cash Online.

*If you are able and willing to contribute extra funds to help cover the cost for another student, we would greatly appreciate your generosity.
PACK Field Trip- October 21
For food-insecure children, leaving school on Fridays brings uncertainty about whether they’ll have a meal over the weekend. The PACK feeding program bridges the hunger gap for thousands of children, who sometimes experience anxiety and stress over weekends and holidays because the nutritional support they receive via school breakfast and lunch is no longer guaranteed. Up to seven meals could be missed between Friday and Monday. Hunger has a devastating effect on every area of a child’s life.
PACK provides 5,400 weekend meal bags to students at 42 schools and community centers each week. Our students will be packing food and writing cards for children experiencing food insecurity.

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.
Community Wish List
If you would like to donate to our classroom community, please find our wishlist here. The items on this list do not need to be purchased from Amazon. We made the list on Amazon because it is an easy way to create and maintain a wish list with pictures and prices. Thank you!
