GIFTS Grant - Grant Inspiring Faculty To Serve

From the Grandparent of an Anchorage Montessori Student,

You are a privileged person! I am too. As a grandparent of a Montessori student, I feel proud, privileged and thankful. The grand children’s futures, opportunities, creativity, self reliance, character and substance are developing soundly as they live and experience the Montessori philosophy and educational environment. You and I both know the surroundings, formative influences, security and development of the child’s self-esteem are greatly dependent on the teachers’ and assistants’ abilities, interests and heartfelt Montessori philosophy and methods.

I asked AMS to include this note to you to let you know about a special GIFTS grant (Grant Inspiring Faculty To Serve). The grant is established to provide partial funding for qualified teachers and assistants to attend accredited Montessori educational programs and workshops leading to certification for their next level of Montessori service.

Currently, there is a $2500 challenge offered in fund raising for this GIFTS grant for Anchorage Montessori School. As you and I make contributions to Anchorage Montessori School for the GIFTS grant, each dollar will be matched by the benefactor; dollar for dollar, resulting in five thousand dollars for further training and education of the teachers of our grand children.

I ask you to join me in acquiring these match dollars to give well deserved educational support to those wonderful Montessori teachers and assistants who create the environment and opportunity for our children and grand children (the future of the world) to develop their own uniqueness.

By the way, the next time you’re on the internet, just type into “Google”:
[Montessori google] or [Montessori ebay]. You may be proud and inspired.

Sincerely,

An AMS Grandpa
Actually a Grandpa of three Montessori students (one at AMS) and a parent of two Montessori Moms.
