As we celebrate our 52nd year of nurturing independent thinkers, compassionate leaders, and lifelong learners, I am filled with gratitude for the legacy we continue to build—together. This year’s theme, “Our School, Our Legacy,” reflects not only our rich history but also the enduring impact of the Montessori philosophy on generations of students and families. It is a legacy that lives in our classrooms, our community, and in the hearts of those who return—like the 11 alumni families who now entrust us with the education of their own children. Their presence is a powerful indicator of the transformative experience MSW provides. As we enter this season of giving, we invite you to join us once again in shaping the future of MSW. Your gift helps sustain the legacy we’ve built and ensures that future generations will benefit from the same nurturing and inspiring education. Whether you contribute a single time or through monthly giving, your support makes an invaluable difference. Be part of something meaningful. Every contribution creates ripples of impact across our students, school, and community. To learn more about how the MSW Annual Fund enriches our programs and transforms student experiences, visit our Development page.
As a token of our gratitude, each donation will be honored with a personalized ornament—featuring your student(s), family, or business name—displayed on MSW’s Winter Giving Tree in the main lobby throughout the holiday season.
Each ornament on the tree represents our community’s belief in our Montessori learning environment.
