Montessori students deliver evergreen holiday wreaths
From the Orcas Montessori School
The air is crisp, the children are dreaming of holiday magic, and it’s time for the 16th Annual Orcas Montessori Wreath Sale, underway for the 2010 Holiday Season.
The wreaths are hand-made of noble fir and decorated with blue-berried juniper, yellow tipped incense cedar, pine cones and a festive red velvet bow. They are available in 24”, 36”, and 40” diameter sizes at $25, $35 and $55 respectively. Cathy Faulkner, committee chair said, “What better way to shop local AND support Orcas children at the same time. Place your order early for best selection. Great for your home or business, and provide lovely gifts for everyone on your client or gift list.”
Shipping service to anywhere in the US is available for an additional fee. Local orders will have several pick-up dates to choose from as well as additional hours throughout the shopping season. Delivery service is available for larger orders, local business or in cases of special needs.
Orcas Montessori School extends special appreciation to Island Hardware for their assistance in getting the wreaths to the island.
“By supporting the Holiday Wreath Sale, you help sustain the dynamic educational program at Orcas Montessori School, encouraging independent thinking, creativity and self-motivation in our island children”, says Joe Thoron, President of he Orcas Montessori School Board.
