Montessori Auction





There is no community that I have experienced that so deeply believes in the potential of the human spirit. Luke's Montessori teachers respect him so much and and treat him wiht so much grace. They admire him because of the awe they hold about the minds capabilities between ages 3-6 years old. The study him to bring out his best. They are able to get the students operating in a beautiful way where they teach each other and help each other. It is remarkable. Needless to say we love his school.

We went to a silent auction so support his school that is in need of financial support. It was very encouraging to see the generosity of those willing to support the school. It was a reminder of what is important and what is truly valuable in life. We helped by creating the children's creations. Each student contributes to the piece of art that we sell on the day of the auction. This year we did clay flowers by the children that we composed into a bouquet of flowers and the hung and framed. We also created puppets that were sewn by the children with a puppett theater. Together the pieces earned $2,900.
