Poinsetta sale

Thank you to the Maple Grove community for supporting our grade 7s with their poinsettia sale.  A total of 169 poinsettia were sold, netting our grade 7 grad committee just over $900.00.  We appreciate your support and hope you will enjoy your beautiful plants all season long!

fundraising tree

The PAC annual fundraising campaign has begun and so far we have received 126 donations. This represents a 26% participation rate in the campaign–a very good start!  Our goal is 100% participation of Maple Grove school families–every donation, regardless of amount, counts.

Every one of these donations is being celebrated on our new donor wall–thank you to all those who have sent in their donations!  The money the PAC raises is essential to supporting every classroom and student at the school. If you have not already done so, we invite you to drop off your donation in PAC mailbox at the school office.  And please be sure to view our tree located by the main stairway near the office and watch it grow new leaves!

Calling all Montessori Parents!

Parent education is crucial to understanding the Montessori method of education.  The Montessori parent committee is currently looking for a parent volunteer who would be interested in coordinating a couple of education sessions for Montessori parents in the new year.  If you are interested in working on this initiative please contact monicaktang@gmail.com.  Thanks!
