| The Humberside Montessori School Parents’ Association was organized to bring parents closer to each other and to create a venue for parents to embellish and enrich the life in the school. The parents are involved in planning a number of educational, social and fundraising events. There are so many wonderful aspects to this school and the Parents’ Association is one of them. Our Parents’ Association provides the venue to complement and support the Montessori philosophy and strengthen the sense of community. This is achieved through open collaboration between the parents and the staff. Our goal is to facilitate this through the activities and events held throughout the school year. Parents will be attending and providing feedback at meetings that contribute to the benefit of the school as a whole. Our active involvement in the Parents’ Association is critical to the enhancement and betterment of the environment for our children.
Some of the social events are: Fall Family Weekend Outing, Parents Social and Silent Auction, Spring Family Weekend Outing, and the always popular Kids Caravan. The educational workshops and conferences are well attended and provide great opportunities for parents to learn more about Montessori and to get to know each other better. The fundraising events contribute to many different causes, for example: enrichment of the library, field trips, purchase of the playground and gymnastic equipment, tuition support for needy families, some community projects, the yearbook, the Humberside Montessori Family Cookbook, the Humberside Montessori Fund, and others.
The Parents’ Association meets regularly and provides a forum for parents and the school administration to discuss common issues resulting in continued enrichment of the school.
Thank you,
