Family Contributions

Volunteer Hours

We ask that each family’s contribution be the equivalent of 30 hours of Time, Treasure, and Talent (referred to as TTT going forward) or any combination of the three. For contributions of supplies and materials, receipts may be submitted to the office and accounted for on your family’s Volunteer Spreadsheet.

For time spent on a project, fundraising event, or any work done on behalf of the school, the volunteer will receive a credit for $10 per hour toward the balance of TTT.

Please continue to check the Montessori Messenger for changes and updates as our campus needs are continually evolving. Any unfulfilled balance of TTT will be billed as a final invoice for the school year. We greatly value our families and know that each one of you is an important piece of our puzzle that would not be complete without you.

Giving the gift of time can come in many different forms. Members of the Board of Directors give generously of their time to help advise the Head of School and provide Governance to the administration. Parents and families donate their time to come and help beautify our campus. Parents also help organize the Fundraisers that are so crucial in maintaining our budget and help provide for the unforeseen expenses that crop up during the year.

Building skills come in handy when fences, gates, and buildings need replacing or repair. Tech skills are sometimes needed to upgrade and maintain our IT resources. Organizing the Uniform Rescue room so that parents can easily find their child’s size. The possibilities are virtually endless for the donation of one’s talent.

Donations to our Annual Fund help to bridge the gap between our tuition revenue and expenses. Participating in fundraisers and inviting your family, friends, and neighbors to participate as well, are some of the creative ways to help.
