Global Celebration


Global Celebration is quickly approaching! On Saturday, February 21st, in the TMS gym, families are invited to bring traditional foods, create exhibit tables, and wear traditional outfits from their cultures. There will also be internationally themed crafts and activities. Many families have worked so hard to create educational and engaging exhibit tables, crafts, and the most DELICIOUS food for this event in past years, so we're excited to see what everyone comes up with this year!


Please consider volunteering in some capacity! We are still in need of country exhibits, food, and activities for this event.

Spring Soirée Sponsorship Opportunities


We are excited to invite members of our community to support The Montessori School Spring Soirée by becoming a sponsor. Sponsorship is a wonderful way to show your support for our school while receiving meaningful recognition at the event and on our website. We offer a variety of sponsorship levels to meet different interests and giving capacities, making it easy for everyone to participate. All proceeds raised from the Spring Soirée will go towards the Annual Fund.


Save the date—tickets for the Spring Soirée will go on sale March 1st. We look forward to celebrating together and are grateful for the generosity that makes this special evening possible.

Green Team Donations Needed


Our Green Team is getting ready to create seed starters for our Monarch Butterfly Waystation, and we need your help! We are collecting the following clean, empty items to upcycle into planting containers:


  • Toilet paper rolls
  • Paper towel rolls
  • Plastic milk jugs
  • Cardboard egg cartons


Please send donations in with your child by February 20th. Items should be rinsed out and free of food residue.


Thank you for helping us turn everyday recyclables into something beautiful and beneficial for pollinators. We’re excited to grow habitat for monarchs together! 🌼

Art Show


Thank you for all those attending the art show at Abington Art Center throughout the week and for supporting our artists and creative community. Thanks to Ms. Cooper, our children have wonderful experiences like this—where art, connection, and inspiration come together. The Art Show is only possible through the generosity of our families. We hope you will consider making a contribution to help ensure these creative experiences can continue to thrive.


Please click here to make an online donation. You can also make cash or check donations in car line.

Thank you again for celebrating our students’ creativity!

Annual Fund & Company Matching Programs



As our Annual Fund continues, we invite families to consider making a gift—and to check whether your employer offers a matching gift program. Thanks to generous company matches, we’ve already raised over $11,000, doubling (and even tripling, in some cases) the impact of many donations!


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!

Summer Camp



Thanks for all who have registered! We are happy to have so many students already signed up. Please register by March 1st.
