Fundraising update: Help us get to the finish line!
Blaze the trail to a new gym floor.
After last weekend’s incredible Spring Fling fundraiser, we are thrilled to share that we’re getting so close to the finish line of our Blaze the Trail campaign! Thanks to the generosity of our community, we’ve already raised $45,000 of our $60,000 goal – that’s 75%!
With just two months left in the school year, we now need to raise the final $15,000 to make our new gym floor a reality. If you’ve been considering donating, now is the perfect moment—your support right now will help us cross the finish line and leave a lasting impact for our students. Thank you for helping us blaze the trail together! Montessori.on.ca/blaze-the-trail
