Annual holiday wreath sale is popular fundraiser for Montessori School.

In its 19th year, the Orcas Montessori School wreath sale is an Orcas Island holiday tradition, providing islanders and their friends with holiday décor, while bringing vital funds to the Montessori school.

The wreaths are hand-made of noble fir and decorated with blue-berried juniper, yellow tipped incense cedar, pinecones and a festive red velvet bow. Two sizes of wreaths are available. 24” wreaths for $26, and 36” wreaths for $36 each. Shipping service, for the 24” wreaths, is available for an additional fee.

There are several ways to place an order. Order forms can be found at Orcas Montessori School, 1147 North Beach Rd., online ordering is available at www.orcasmontessori.org, and those who prefer to order by phone may contact Jamie Donatuto at 376-2941.

Wreaths will also be available in front of Island Market on Saturday, November 23rd. There will also be a rack of wreaths at Ray’s Pharmacy for the duration of the sale.
