Many thanks to all who attended, volunteered or donated to the 13th Annual Costumes & Cocktails Montessori Gala. Through your efforts and donations, the school raised over $50,000!  Thank you to all families for participating in the Paddle Raiser and donating over $20,000 towards Montessori Materials.  We are particularly grateful, as all of these donations will be matched by the $500,000 challenge grant!  If you have any photos to share from the evening, please send to Kate at  [email protected].Thank you to all of the volunteers, cooks and entertainers for the MSOW International Fair! It is often the favorite family event of the year. We had the greatest variety of food this year, so thank you to all who shared a bit of their culture or heritage with the MSOW community. We are already planning for next year, so if anyone is associated with or knows of cultural dancers, entertainers, musicians or bands, please contact Michelle at [email protected]. 

All families who brought treats for the holidays, both for staff and for the concerts. Your thoughtfulness, generosity (and creativity) are greatly appreciated!
