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.

Information about Original Art Works from Rachel Bush:
Original Works Q & A:
What is Original Works?
Turn your child’s art into keepsakes (mugs, tote bags, pot holders, pillowcases, keychains, night lights, etc.). This fundraiser benefits your child’s classroom directly.
What if my child didn’t do or complete their art?
Complete it now! Art needs to be on plain 8.5”x11” paper (cardstock is best for durability). No 3-D art (glitter, pipe cleaners, etc.) and no copyrighted art. Must be original! Whatever you turn in with your payment will be considered complete.
What if my child made more than one piece of art?
You need one order form per piece of art. The order form needs to be filled out and taped to the back of your child’s art.
What if I have a child who wants to participate and isn’t at MMA?
Anyone can submit art. All you need is an order form and to designate which teacher you want to benefit!
How do I pay?
Write a check made to Original Works and attach it to the order form or write your credit card number on order form.
When are orders due?
Art, order forms, and payment must be returned to the front office by October 17th.
What needs to be on the art?
Your child’s name, teacher’s name, and a T designating the top of art must be written on the back of each piece of art.
When will keepsakes arrive?
Friday, November 30th!

Dear parents,
Here is a correction from the administration about the Redwoods meeting for 6th grade parents on Monday October 8th:
We wanted to apologize for the incorrect time in the MMM. The Redwoods Parent Meeting will be held next Monday, October 8th from 5:30pm-6:30pm, not at 5:50pm.
Thank you for understanding. We look forward to meeting you with.
Thanks – John
Dear parents,
We have rain predicted for tomorrow. Please make sure that your child has good shoes and rain gear for the trip, along with something warm. It can get cold up there. Also, please provide a sack lunch, remembering there are no facilities for heating food.
We will be leaving at 8:30 from the school parking lot, so please make sure that your child is here on time. They can come to the room first if they are early. We will arrive back at 2:15, in plenty of time for pick up.
Thank you!
John
Dear parents,
Just a reminder that the Native American tribe/region project is due next Wednesday October 3rd.
Thanks – John
Dear parents,
This Monday is an early release day; school finishes at 1 pm. Please make sure you have made arrangements to collect your children at this time.
Thank you to all the parents that drove and chaperoned on the Freedom’s Light field trip on Friday. Although there were slightly less booths than the last time, the students all had a great time!
The next field trip is a 4th grade only one, going to the American West Heritage Center near Logan. This is an all day field trip for Thursday October 4th. We will be leaving the school at 8:30 am by School Bus, returning for 3 pm pick up. Students will be receiving their permission slips on Monday and they should take a sack lunch, strong shoes/sneakers and clothes for cool, possibly wet weather.
Thank you!
John
Dear parents,
Many students failed to complete their work at school left over from last week and this week. Therefore, they will have been sent home with a combination of some of the following work:
Our aim at the school is to foster independent learners and for some, this can be quite a change from what they have been used to. The essay and Native American regions were given out last week and we are encouraging them to focus on their work, so that they can complete their work in a timely manner and avoid taking work home.
Please email me if you have any questions.
With thanks – John
