Dear Hammer Montessori Families,

The holidays are here, and we hope this season brings you joy and warmth. As we approach winter break—just one day away—we want to express our gratitude for your continued support and remind you of an important opportunity to make a difference.

Our annual fundraiser ends in 12 days, on December 31st. We are thrilled to announce that we have raised 71% of our goal so far, but we need your help to cross the finish line. Your contributions are crucial to funding the programs and activities that make Hammer Montessori such a special place for our students.

How You Can Help:

• Donate: Our goal is $250 per child, but any amount helps! Whether you can give $5, $50, or $500, every dollar makes a difference.
• Donations can be made via Konstella HERE or by dropping off cash or checks at the school office.
• Employer Matching: Many employers offer matching gift programs, so don't forget to check if yours does.
• Tax-Deductible: All donations are tax-deductible, and you will receive a receipt for your contribution.
• Volunteer: If you’d like to contribute your time, please email us at hammer.montessori.foundation@gmail.com.

Your Impact:
Your donations directly support essential programs like:

• The Starting Arts Program (dance, drama, and music instruction for K-5th grade)
• Field trips, in-school assemblies, and the Galammer Garden
• Montessori teacher training and materials
• School-wide activities like the Walk-A-Thon and Winter Bazaar

We Need Your Help Now
Your financial support is crucial to funding these programs for the 2024/2025 school year. Please consider donating today to ensure every child continues to have an enriched educational experience.

Thank you for your generosity and commitment to our students and community. Together, we can achieve our goal and give every child the quality education they deserve.

Wishing you and your family a wonderful holiday season,
Kristen Vlietstra
