Montessori Buzz – March 7, 2023

Dear MA Families & Friends,

CHF Event is FRIDAY!

Beach Day (Toddler-UE) and Jersey Day (Junior High) are this Friday, March 10! Our Junior High students can “sport” a jersey of choice, either their own or of their favourite sports player. Students in Elementary and Casa can dress in appropriate beach attire (no bathing suits) for an enjoyable “day under the sun.” The Junior High committee will be accepting loose change for the Children’s Health Foundation programs. Early this year, Pyjama Day produced $1,911.95 for the Expanding Creative Art Therapies to Child and Adolescent Mental Health. The money fundraised for Beach Day and Jersey Day will also go to these programs. Through our commitment to Charitable Giving, we are making a difference in the lives of children facing serious health issues. As a committee, we would love to see either the same amount or go above and beyond to allow kids in hospitals the opportunity to have these programs, transforming their healthcare experience. Remember every contribution counts!


Thank you for your continued support and participation!
Junior High CHF Committee
