We're organizing volunteer efforts into five committees. Where do you shine?

Sponsorship & Fundraising: Outreach and securing community support and donations
Classroom Baskets: Organize and collect donations for a themed basket for your child's class

Work kicks off in January. To accommodate working parents, some planning meetings will be held virtually in the evenings. If interested in helping, please email Liz at ehoffner@themontessorischool.us. Thanks!

Afterschool Clubs Offerings

In order for us to properly plan, please sign up for these clubs by January 1st. Thank you!

Winter/Spring Afterschool Clubs

We’re grateful for the strong, joyful community that defines TMS. This year’s Annual Fund supports two exciting priorities—enhancing our Elementary Playground and expanding our Library Collection with new titles and updated technology.

Every gift, no matter the size, directly enriches our students’ daily experiences and strengthens our Montessori community.

Join us in supporting the Annual Fund today and help TMS continue to grow and thrive!
