Brickton Montessori School

August 17th is National Non-Profit Day. It's a day to recognize the contributions of nonprofit staff and volunteers while highlighting the importance of supporting their efforts through donations, volunteering or any other form of assistance.

Brickton Montessori School's Board of Directors held our annual fall retreat today to support our efforts toward fundraising for our new building and re-imagining our mission and vision statements.

Please consider donating to our capital campaign and helping create an amazing new space for our current and future students!

Each year, Brickton Montessori closes out the school year with our annual Peace Picnic, which began in 1996 when we became an international peace site. Yesterday, we went back to the roots of our celebration, revisiting the importance of peace education and singing songs of peace (including one written by a Brickton parent) as a whole community.

Cooperation and collaboration are keys to a better world.

Summer concert and festival season is right around the corner, so we thought we'd kick things off, Brickton-style...
