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.
Please respond to this email to sign up with the following information:

How many student tickets?
How many Adult guest tickets?

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 Michael Herrera, Kai’s father, who took one look at the Spanish Lime kitchen and offered to renovate it, no questions asked. Over Fall Break he and his team replaced all of our old cabinets and made the kitchen as good as new. What a wonderful gift he gave to us, using his superpower. Thank you, Michael, and the entire Herrera family!!
