Montessori Key West Candles – Forms Due Next Week!
Order forms have been sent home with your children for the Montessori Key West Signature Candle. If you did not get one yet, you can find it here… 
.
Each candle is $40, with a $22 profit to the school (!!) and last year we sold over 300!
We have a few candle samples in the front office for you to reference!
Some winning ideas included: text a photo of a handwritten letter from student to family & friends & shared on social media, share attached/below file in offices and workplaces, and this year we can all contact last year’s buyers who loved the candles to buy more! Some examples are included below for your inspiration!

We are able to do what we do because of gestures like this!
School Picture Week
November 3-7 will be our School Photo Week. See below schedule. Sibling photos will be taken on the scheduled day of the youngest child. Photo proofs are delivered electronically by Thursday for review, so you can decide if you’d like a reshoot on Friday.
This year the photographer will also be offering family mini-sessions with a portion of the proceeds going back to the school scholarship fund! You should receive an email from Megan with Giggles & Grins Photography in the next week with more information.

Weekly Miracle Makers
Oftentimes it feels like our school is powered by Miracles. Miracles large and small happen each week to pull off all that we do here. Those miracles appear in acts of love and kindness and service by parents, children, staff, alumni, community members, and more, and each week we highlight a special one here.
This week’s Miracle Makers are Kat Valilee & Nathaniel Linville (Violet’s Mom & Dad, the owners of The Angling Company) who visited our Primary program this week to share their knowledge about fly fishing. What a treat to learn from members of our community who have achieved such success in their craft. We invite any members of the community who wish to share with our students to speak with our team so we can coordinate bringing you in for a special lesson or project!
