718 Waterloo Kitchen Project
We’re excited to share that we are currently at 40% of our fundraising goal for the kitchen renovation at our 718 Waterloo St. location! Thank you to everyone who has supported this important project this year. With just three months left before the end of the school year, we need everyone’s help to reach our goal.
Thanks to the generosity of our community, we’ve successfully transformed kitchens across our Oxford Casa, Elementary, and Junior High locations. Now, we want to bring that same magic to our Toddler and Casa programs, providing a modern, safe, and functional space for our youngest learners.
Your donation, no matter the size, will bring us closer to our goal. Together, we can continue to provide intentional, beautiful spaces where our children thrive.
To donate, visit montessori.on.ca/donate. Thank you for your continued support!
Spirit wear is coming home Friday!
Our spirit wear has arrived at the office and will be sent home with your children on Friday. Go, Trailblazers!
Grandparents’ & Special Friends’ Day reminder
We can’t wait to welcome our grandparents and special friends into our classrooms in on May 30! Please remind your family members and friends who want to join us to sign up for their spot. Each class is doing something different, so please refer to your classroom’s letter for details.

Student vote!
Junior High registered to participate in Student Vote Canada, taking place alongside yesterday’s federal election. Student Vote is a dynamic learning experience that empowers students to explore the democratic process by casting ballots for the official local candidates in a parallel election. More than 800,000 students across the province are expected to take part.
We are so pleased that our students, despite their heavy involvement with our upcoming musical, took time to research the candidates, participated in a well run debate of their own, and then cast their ballots.
Students took on the roles of election officials and ran the polling stations. We look forward to counting and sending in our results to CIVIX Canada.
