Today, I want to start off with a heartfelt thank you to the Montair community who bid online last week and showed up to the Foundation Live Auction event this past weekend. Your participation and support of our kids was evident in the number of volunteers, the creative donations, and the generous bidding. I want to thank Natasha Fitzgibbon and Nicole Jones for the countless hours spent organizing these events. Their innovative ideas and attention to detail are impressive! I want to thank the many Montair staff members who showed up, volunteering to help out and show their appreciation for all of our community. Our fund a need this year is focused on Inclusion, building in supports to help ALL kids be successful and safe at school. Check out
the video

Students are given daily challenges, connected to industry experts, introduced to engaging project-based learning activities, and encouraged to explore new STEAM topics. Our high school mentors also help us keep the ratios of leadership to students low for each class. To Learn more our summer enrichment camps and our high school mentor program, visit the
