MMS 2024 Annual Spring Gala & Golf

How far will your child go? At Mountaineer Montessori, there are no limits!
 

Since our founding in 1976, more than 1,000 children have gotten their start at Mountaineer Montessori.

The love of learning ignited during their time here has propelled these students to go far and aim high. No matter where their paths lead, the Montessori magic continues to empower their potential and inspire a bright future for themselves, their communities and our world.

As a community-based non-profit organization, MMS is grateful for the partnership of families, alumni and community friends to sustain this tradition and fuel tomorrows for today's students, currently 180 ages 2-14.

On Friday, May 17, we will present our annual spring event, a major fundraiser providing essential funding for teacher training and appreciation, facilities, and financial aid-more than $45,000 in tuition grants and scholarships to area families in 2023-24.

New to this year's spring fundraiser is the addition of an exciting golf event at Berry Hills Country Club to our fundraising gala..

Guests now have the option of enjoying a day on the links, dining and entertainment at the gala -- or both!

Golfers will enjoy 18 holes on the spectacular BHCC course, breakfast and lunch. Registration: 8:00 a.m.| tee time at 9:00 .a.m.

The evening gala, to be held 6:30-9:30 p.m., will feature entertainment by Vinyl Village and our talented MMS staff; passed hors d'oeuvres, wine, beer and non-alcoholic beverages; and auctions of student art works and other exclusive prizes

At MMS, potential is empowered and the future is inspired. With your support, we can continue to elevate education and community by nurturing what the world needs now.
