Kaleidoscope Gala
The Kaleidoscope Gala is Ratner Montessori School's annual event that raises funds to help offset the cost of tuition, enrichment programs, and professional development opportunities for our students and faculty.
This year's Kaleidoscope Gala theme is "Casino Royale" - a theme many of you may recognize from the 2019-2020 school year when what would have been an evening filled with fun and excitement was canceled due to the pandemic. We are delighted to revisit this theme to bring our guests an evening of casino games, music, food, fundraising, and fun!
Funds raised from our annual gala help us to:
- Grow our ability to offer tuition assistance to current/prospective students to build the fabric of our school community,
- Provide industry-leading professional development for teachers, allowing our academics to continue to be a differentiator in Northeast Ohio's independent school offerings,
- Elevate enrichment activities/experiences for students,
- And support our amazing students as they continue to find joy in learning and become their best selves!
