Happy Friday MCS Community!

🕯️🕯️🕯️ Candle Orders will start to be delivered next week.  We still need to sell 40 more candles to match last year’s number!  If you have not yet returned your order form, or wish to buy some candles for the holidays, please still do so!!  They are $40 each and support our School Scholarship fund.  If you placed an order you will be able to pick it up mid-week in the front office.

🏃🏃🏃 Registration is OPEN for our Annual 5K & Kids Fun Runs (1/2 mile & 1 mile open to all ages!)  Shirts for the first 100 registrants, and registration price increases on 11/15.  We have special surprises and Montessori Key West touches all throughout the race – this is a morning you will not want to miss out on.  REGISTER HERE

Don’t want to run?  We need volunteers!  Sign up here, and earn your Fundraising hours for Work/Pay!

The flyer for the 5K is 5K Flyer 2025 (4) (1) & we have more in the front office – please hang them anywhere you can think of to help us spread the word!  You can also share the event on your Facebook!

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 Maker is Dan McCann, Julian’s Dad and an all-around helpful & positive presence in our community.  He recently volunteered to pop in and swap out faucets for us – a job that would cost the school several hundred dollars from a local vendor, but that he was willing to help us with for the price of volunteer hours (when he already will log more than he is required this year.)  It is wonderful parents like Dan & Revati that keep our school operating – we cannot do it without your kindness and generosity.
