Alice Waters: "Montessori felt that your hands were the instrument of your mind. I believe that, and that we need to use our hands in meaningful ways." Alice Waters joins Marin Montessori School on June 5th to celebrate our shared values and work in An Edible Education: The Gather for Good (https://lnkd.in/gWk6ck7). https://www.nytimes.com//magaz/alice-waters-interview.html

Thanks to the outpouring of generosity from our MMS community, we successfully raised $66,000 in response to our Giving Day Match! We made it! Participation in our Relief & Annual Fund Day of Giving makes a meaningful, positive difference in the lives of our students and school community. We are feeling grateful and wishing our community a safe and healthy Thanksgiving holiday. *Artwork by Malia of the Great White Egret Classroom.

We have a BIG announcement! Thanks to a group of AMAZING Primary Families, every donation received by the school between NOW and November 24th will be matched, dollar to dollar, up to $60,000. Any contribution, no matter the amount, shows your support of our school and makes a big difference. Donate and learn more here: https://bit.ly/36zlqfz

"Our children are, within essential boundaries, simply allowed to 'be,' which creates a loving community, exceptional learning, and remarkable young people. We can't imagine life without Marin Montessori School. Our kids would not be as comfortable in their own skin. They wouldn't even know their own skin!" - Current Parent

"We are living our values. Grace and courtesy are everywhere you look, and everyone is pitching in," said Doug Aley, MMS Board Chair, in a letter addressed to the entire MMS community today. From the Parents' Association hosting a socially distanced Trunk-or-Treat event last weekend, to parent volunteers building benches for our elementary students, to our Crew who continuously makes learning safe and fun, the MMS community is truly showing our (fabulous) stripes!

Our farm is flourishing! If you are looking for a little brightness in your day, look no further. These beautiful photos were captured by one of our 8th year Junior High students during her farm chores. Thank you, Avery!
