New School Weekly Update

September 16 - 20, 2024

Welcome to your weekly source of updates, news, and reminders!



Fall Festival Picnic

As you may know, Ms. Kim Lawyer is leading the planning for many of our key school events. Our first major event, the Fall Festival Picnic, is coming up soon. Please see her note below for details:

_______________

Join us for a fun-filled Welcome Back to School Picnic, where we’ll kick off the new school year with a day full of fun and excitement on Saturday, September 28, 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM at Ritter Park, Cary. 

Come anytime between 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM or stay the entire time. We will have inflatable interactive games for all ages, student-led booths, face painting, crafts, and more. Below are a few important times to note so you don't miss out:

11:00 AM: Dance Party with Art

11:15 AM: Magic Storytime

11:45 AM: Learning Magic Workshop

12:00 PM: Dance Party with Art

Bring the whole family, and feel free to invite friends and neighbors—everyone is welcome! It's a great chance to connect with families from your child's class, make new friends, and enjoy a fun-filled day!

We encourage you to bring your own refillable water bottles. Water jugs will be available for water refills and drinks available to purchase from the food trucks. To save on plastic we will not offer individual plastic water bottles.

To help with our planning, we ask that you let us know whether or not your family will be attending, and if you are able to volunteer. Below are links to the event page, RSVP form, and volunteer sign-up.

We look forward to seeing you there for a morning of networking, community, and fun! 

Go PlaySave Fundraiser

The deadline for our GoPlaySave fundraiser is quickly approaching! Please submit all orders or return any unsold books to your child’s teacher by Wednesday, September 18th.

You can also visit our school storefront to pay for the paper book with a credit card, purchase the mobile book, or choose the paper/mobile bundle to receive double the coupons—one set in the paper book and another through the GoPlaySave Triangle app.

GoPlaySave Storefront

Our target is to raise $2,000 for specific playground enhancements, and we need your help to reach it! We're already over halfway there, and every purchase brings us closer to our goal.

Thanks to last year’s donations, we’ve already added exciting new features to our outdoor areas, including a gaga ball pit, which has been a huge hit with our students (pictures coming soon)!

We greatly appreciate your support!

Safety Announcement

Please do not turn left out of our parking lot during carpool times, as this causes traffic backups and heightens safety concerns for our carpool flow.

If you have any questions about the school's safety procedures or wish to report a concern, please contact us at security@montessoricenter.org.

Carolina Children's Theater

The Carolina Children's Theater, run by our former longtime music instructor Mr. James Catton and his wife, Christine, is inviting our students to participate in upcoming auditions.

Below are links for two auditions happening soon:

Junior Theatre Festival Auditions

This Saturday, September 21st @ 1 PM

The Triangle Talent Show Auditions

October 5th @ 1 PM

The links above are also shareable on social media, so feel free to spread the word and help celebrate the talent in our community!

Have a wonderful week!

Best wishes,

Julie
