Poster Signs – We are excited to have our families on campus for this exciting Fundraiser! For the last few years, our families created signs of encouragement that we posted along the fences. This year, you can bring your signs with you and hold them up! If you are unable to come to the event, we can hang the signs for you. Please have the sign no larger than 3’x3’. We will hang them up along the route the morning of the event. Please have your sign to me by Tuesday 11/12, if you are unable to attend the event.
Please contact Susan at susank@countrymontessori.org for more information!
Thank you for all your continued support!
