Mardi Gras Masquerade Auction 2011 

The Final numbers aren't in, but it was another successful year for the Auction. We would like to thank everyone who volunteered before, during, and after the auction, along with everyone who attended.  This wonderful event couldn't have happened without our awesome community of Montessori families!

Thank you,

Wine & Cheese Open House 

The Montessori Children's School will be holding its annual Wine & Cheese Open House on Friday, March 18th from 6:00pm-7:30pm.  If you are available to come, we would love to have you. It is extremely important for perspective families to be able to speak with our current families. You are always our biggest supporters, and we appreciate all that you do.

Thank you,

The Office

Upcoming PTO Fundraiser 

One Fish...Two Fish...Nearly New Fish Fundraiser (or maybe just "Easy  Fundraising Opportunity") 

Now that the auction is successfully behind us, let's talk about an easy fundraiser coming up this month. Jacksonville is having Eastern North Carolina's Premier Consignment Event, Wednesday, March 30^th - Friday, April 1st at the Jacksonville Conference Center. The organizers, One Fish...Two Fish... Nearly New Fish are offering us a super easy way to earn money called the Terrific Thursday Fundraiser. So far, they aren't really promoting this fundraiser idea for the Jacksonville sale, so we may be able to cash in without much competition. All we have to do is distribute flyers about the consignment sale with our school information printed on them. (Think of all your friends through work, church, play-groups, soccer teams, etc who will be interested in going to the sale!) On Thursday, whenever someone presents the flyer with our name on it at the time of checkout, the school will get 10% of the sale! This could easily add up to a substantial fundraiser for us with very little effort on our parts. Keep an eye out for flyers to come home with your child. Extras will be available in the office. Remember to remind people to bring the flyer to check out when they shop on Thursday!
