💙 This Week’s Update from the Hammer Montessori Foundation 💙

Hello Hammer Families,

As we head into the final weeks of the year, we want to pause and speak directly from the heart. Hammer Montessori is a truly special place—and it is special because of you. Our students, teachers, and families together create a community that is caring, inclusive, creative, and deeply committed to helping children grow into confident, curious learners. 🌱✨

💛 Annual Appeal: We’re at 50% — Let’s Finish Strong, Together
We are incredibly grateful to share that we have reached 50% of our Annual Appeal goal. Thank you to every family who has already given. Your generosity is felt every single day on our campus.

We are now in our final two-week push before the end of the year, and this moment truly matters.

The Annual Appeal directly funds the programs that support our teachers, enrich our classrooms, and strengthen our school community—things like classroom materials, enrichment opportunities, assemblies, field trips, staff support, and experiences that make Hammer the warm, vibrant place our children love. These are not extras; they are what allow our school to thrive.

Hammer is amazing because of its diverse, engaged, and generous community of families. Every donation—no matter the size—is a way of saying “I believe in this school, I value these teachers, and I want every child here to succeed.” ❤️

📣 If you are able, please consider donating during this final push.
And if your employer offers corporate matching, your impact can be doubled or even tripled with just a few extra clicks—this is one of the most powerful ways to help us reach our goal.

Thank you for being part of what makes Hammer so extraordinary. Together, we are building something truly meaningful for our children. 💫
