As we say goodbye to our magical campus, we invite you to purchase a shirt, print or sticker commemorating our time at this special place. The beautiful watercolor and gauche images of the front of our campus were created by artist Jeanine Hasty (www.jeaninehasty.com) an alumni of Park Road Montessori.

Items will be delivered at the end of May/ beginning of June.

Limited amounts of items are available so please place your order today. The funds collected will help us to continue our nature education at the new campus.

Remember that your donations are tax deductible, and many employers will donate or provide a matching donation in your child’s name. Thank you for investing in your child!
