Fundraising
The Montessori Elementary & Preschool receives revenues from tuition, fees, and donations. Fundraising is a very important part, as it is with all non-profit schools. The school solicits charitable, tax-deductible gifts from parents, pas parents and friends of the school, with the goal of building a school of our own as well as purchasing new materials to aid the teachers and the staff in meeting their goals and objectives for the children. Donations may be used to meet the expenses of the operating budget as well as special projects.Development Fee
An annual development commitment is due from each family by August
1 each year. The fundraising fees become part of the building fund
for future construction and building maintenance.Manna
The Manna Program is an opportunity for parents to help the school raise funds at no cost to themselves. By purchasing, through the school, vouchers (in the form of gift certificates and gift cards) for local and national retail stores, a percentage of your purchase is donated to the school with no reduction in the value of your gift certificate or gift card.Silent Auction
An auction is held annually to raise funds for the development of the school grounds and to provide additional classroom materials. Parents are the sole resource of the school for soliciting, organizing and hosting the auction. All parents are strongly encouraged to participate by committing your time, talents and attendance to the auction for the continue growth of our school community.Target
The Target Corporation provides parents with another opportunity
to help the school raise funds at no cost to themselves. By registering
our school on your Target Visa card, the school receives 1% of all
purchases you make with the card. The school receives a check quarterly
based on parent participation and purchases are not itemized or disclosed
to the school.Box Tops
