Spring Benefit Success
Posted 4.30.10
What an amazing evening! Friends, neighbors, families, faculty, and alumni who attended the Spring Benefit Montessori Works! last Saturday night were witness to an outpouring of good will and support. We want to again acknowledge the work of our co-chairs, Stephanie Anderson and Pam Levy, for creating an evening that has raised at least $100,000 in support of the school and $48,700 through Fund A Need in support of faculty professional development.
