HANDS IN HARMONY: BUILDING OUR MONTESSORI COMMUNITY
Dear Ratner Families and Friends,
As we embark on another year of growth and learning at Ratner Montessori School, I am reminded daily of the beauty and uniqueness of our community. Our school thrives because of the dedication, passion, and generosity of individuals like you—those who understand that the Montessori experience is more than just an education; it is a profound journey of discovery, independence, and joy.
This year, our Annual Fund theme is “Hands in Harmony: Building Our Montessori Community.” This theme captures the spirit of collaboration that makes our school so special. It reflects our shared commitment to creating an environment where children can explore their passions, develop a lifelong love of learning, and build strong, compassionate relationships.
Your support is crucial to our mission. Annual Fund donations enable us to provide:
- Enriched Montessori Materials: From hands-on learning tools to specialized educational resources, your contributions help us maintain an environment where every child can explore and discover at their own pace.
- Professional Development for Teachers: Our educators are at the heart of our Montessori community. Your gift supports ongoing training and development, ensuring our teachers have the skills and knowledge to inspire and guide our children.
- Financial Aid and Scholarships: We believe every child deserves access to a Montessori education, regardless of their financial situation. Your generosity helps make our school accessible to all families, fostering a diverse and inclusive community.
As we come together under the theme “Hands in Harmony,” we invite you to join us in supporting our school. Your gift, no matter the size, will have a meaningful impact on our students, our teachers, and our community. Please consider making a donation to our Annual Fund today.
Thank you for being a vital part of the Ratner Montessori community. With your help, we will continue to build a place where each child's potential can flourish, guided by caring hands working in harmony.
Warm regards,
Mike Griffith
Head of School
