Upcoming Week

Looking forward to next week:

Monday is the Redwoods meeting.  Students will meet during the day from 12-12:30 and parents will meet that evening from 5:30-6:30 in the new addition in the Junior High (the MMM was wrong, please arrive at 5:30 for the meeting).

Friday from 4-7 is the fall festival here at school, you can pre-purchase tickets to that event.

I will be out of the classroom Thursday afternoon and Friday for a family event.  I will be back the next Monday.  Ms. Susan will be taking over the class in my stead.

Parent Teacher conferences are the 15,16, and 17th.  Early release those days.  Please sign up for a slot here:

Fall Festival – Volunteer Opportunities

Hi Parents,

Thank you so much to everyone who has already signed up to help at Fall Festival! October is a pretty busy month as far as MAPA and volunteering go so we need help from so many. If you haven’t had a chance to sign up yet there is still time. We need several more volunteers to keep all of the activities open. This year MAPA will be implementing the “no volunteer, no activity” moto again. This means that any time we have a volunteer need and no one has signed up that activity will be closed for the time slot.

Not only do we have Fall Festival this month we also have Parent Teacher Conference dinners and Book Fair October 15-17th.

Please, please follow the link and sign up where you are able. Please note there are multiple signups for all events on the calendar. If one is full please click on the next signup sheet. If you have any questions you can email MAPA at mapa@mariamontessoriacademy.org.
