Thank You, Hammer Parents!
We’re kicking off this week’s update with a huge round of applause for the amazing generosity of Hammer Montessori parents! Thanks to your support, we smashed our goals for the annual appeal. While we’re still waiting on corporate matching numbers, our rough estimate is that we’ve reached 142% of our goal—an incredible achievement!
This success means we’ll be able to fund some fantastic initiatives for our kids this year. We’re so lucky to have such a dedicated and active parent community—thank you for making this possible!

HMF Monthly Meeting Recap
Big News!
Our HMF president, Alicia, is stepping down—but for an exciting reason! She has accepted a job at HMS, and as a district employee, she can no longer serve on the board. Please join us in congratulating Alicia on this fantastic opportunity. We’re thrilled she’ll still be attending our meetings to share her insights.
This change means we’ll have some openings on the board. If you’re interested in joining the HMF team, watch for a Konstella message or email us at hammer.montessori.foundation@gmail.com. Our next meeting is February 4, and all parents are welcome to attend!
We’ve also started planning for this year’s Walk-A-Thon—stay tuned for updates!
