Month of the Military Child
April 1st-30th, 2024
April is the official Month of the Military Child! It's a time to honor and recognize the children of our armed forces community.
The Montessori Children's School is proud to have 57 students enrolled who are serving alongside their family as dependent military children. Help us celebrate MOMC by sponsoring one of our students who is a military child. Sponsorships are $100 and will provide both the student and sponsor with name recognition on a sign in front of the school for the entire month of April. 15% of all proceeds will be donated to Military Child Education Coalition (militarychild.org) and the remaining funds will go toward field trips and increased security at the school.
As a sponsor, your business name/logo will be displayed on the sign alongside the names of our MCS military child students in recognition of your support in our community. You will also be acknowledged on social media and in the MCS newsletter!
