We are looking forward to beginning conferences this week to discuss each student’s progress. This will also be a great opportunity to address any questions you may have about your observations. Thank you for your continued support!

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!
