Fall Break Potluck Sign Ups
All programs dismiss at 12PM on Friday, November 21 to kick off Fall break. All students will dismiss from their classrooms on this day – please plan to park and find your child inside the classroom. Please then join us for a potluck hosted by the Board on the Front Lawn from 12-1:30PM. We will have our favorite DJ Jimmy Jamz and some great community playtime before we leave for break. Here is a sign up for potluck items: https://www.signupgenius.com/

Holiday Light Conch Train with Montessori Key West
One of our favorite community events is open for sign ups: The Holiday Lights Conch Train – Montessori Edition!! 
Please mark your calendars for Tuesday, December 16th at 5:45PM – we’ll meet on the Front Lawn for treats and board the trains on Varela St. Wear your holiday gear (pajamas encouraged!)
Tickets are $15 per student & $20 per guest (grown ups and non-student children.) We will invoice you after sign ups.
We reserved an extra train this year, so we are happy to be able to invite grandparents and other family & friends in addition to immediate family. The more the merrier!!
This year is also a “Half Tour” – meaning the ride will be 45 mins (instead of 90) to accommodate our younger age group.
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.
