Dear Friends and Supporters,

​

We are reaching out with heavy hearts but unwavering hope. Hurricane Helene caused devastating damage to our beloved Montessori By The Sea elementary school building and facilities. Our Elementary wing got hit the hardest, with about 3 feet of water in the building. Unfortunately, many new and old Montessori materials, shelves, desks, and other items will have to go. Our once vibrant space, where children thrived in an environment of exploration and growth, now needs significant repair. 

​

While our community has always been resilient, we need your help more than ever. The children, our brightest lights, cannot attend school here as the rebuilding efforts continue. This interruption to their education impacts not just their learning but the sense of stability and connection we strive to provide.

 

We are asking for your support to help restore the school, rebuild the classrooms, and bring our children back to the place where their minds and hearts blossom. No matter how small, every contribution will bring us closer to reopening our doors and welcoming our students back to the space they love.

​

Your generosity will ensure that Montessori By The Sea can continue to offer a nurturing environment where children can grow, learn, and thrive. Together, we can rebuild the future for our students.

Thank you for standing with us during this difficult time. With your help, we will rise stronger than ever.

​

Warm regards,

 

Karen Riccardi

Head of School
