Description

We want all children to be excited to go to school!

All children are driven to learn. The job of children is to learn everything about themselves and the world around them. Montessori is a unique style of education that draws children in in a screen-free environment and allows them to explore and develop in classrooms with specially-trained teachers and mixed aged programs.

For over 25 years, Oak Knoll Montessori School has been educating children between the ages of 18 months and 15 years old. At all levels we give our children the opportunity to develop independence. For our toddlers that means setting the table each day for lunch with their classmates, while our middle school students run the school hot lunch program and host a weekly farm market selling produce from their own garden and eggs from their own chickens.

Our students become the kind of adults you would want as friends or coworkers.

On May 11th, we’re hosting our Night Owls Ball fundraiser. During the evening we’ll be hosting a silent auction and a live auction to raise $75,000 to open another classroom to support the community demand for more care for children under three, update each classroom's outdoor working gardens and continue to offer financial assistance for whom a Montessori education would otherwise be out of reach.

We need your help to reach our goals! We are asking for a donation to be included in our silent auction.

We expect 120 people to attend our event. These will be mostly parents with children under 14 years old.

Donors will have their business recognized on the Gala website and social media sites, and during the event in the printed Gala program and onsite signage. 

We know that you receive many requests and are so grateful for your consideration!
