Grand Opening Gala
October 1st 2 - 6 PM
We are excited and proud to open our doors to our community for the first time. Families, educators and curious neighbors and everyone in the community are all invited to attend our Grand Opening Gala on October 1st from 2-6pm.
We invite you to take a tour of our newly renovated and architecturally-designed school building, fully furnished with beautiful Montessori materials, just waiting for children to fill its corners with their important work.
We will have a visit by the St. Paul Firetruck, a puppet-making station taught by Carol Lonning, face-painting by Sarah Endsley, a Bouncy Castle for exercising those gross motor skills, and free food and drinks for all attending families!
Come listen to live music from local musicians Aaron Lockridge on ukele, Lucy Michell, and Chris Koza and Peter Sieve (of the band Rogue Valley). Support our local talent while supporting our brand new school! CD sales and merchandise will be available.
