Letter to Editor | Montessori School Thanks the Community

— from The Orcas Montessori School Families and Staff —

The families and staff of the Orcas Montessori School would like to sincerely thank everyone who generously supported our holiday wreath sale this year. The wreath sale is our second biggest fundraiser, and it benefits the school in a multitude of ways– from providing scholarships to maintaining our building and playground areas. These funds really make a difference.

Several generous islanders and businesses deserve special acknowledgement for their support. Orcas Island Hardware picked up the wreaths and donated their truck for the delivery of the wreaths to the island. Rick Dalgarno let us use valuable storage space for the wreaths during the Sale. A big thank you goes out to Marlace & Rick Hughes and the whole staff at Ray’s Pharmacy who helped us tremendously by selling wreaths at the store. Many thanks to the Co-op staff for selling wreaths at their store. Our gratitude goes to the Senior Center for letting us set up a table at the Holiday Fair. Many thanks go to our families, staff and board members who made this sale such a success.

Thank you to everyone who supported us during this very important fundraiser. We appreciate your continued support of early childhood education on the island.
