ART FROM THE HEART GALA
Our theme this year was Children in Focus. Gracing the event
were pictures of QCMS children immersed in Montessori work,
wonderful live music, and delicious Italian cuisine. Some of
these photos are featured in the front entry of the school. Our
goal was not only to raise money, but also to bring together the
Montessori community for a fabulous evening. It has been a joy
to work with such talented family members and staff throughout
QCMS.
This once a year event would not have been possible without the
generous support of many individuals and area businesses. We
were thrilled that our teachers were hosting the event. The
evening was a resounding success with the Art from the Heart
committee presenting funds in excess of $23,000 to the school.
We are truly grateful for such an impressive outpouring of
dedication to the school and its program, which serves our
children.
Thanks so much for your continued support of QCMS.

"There are many who hold, as I do, that the most important part of life is not the age of university studies, but the first one, the period from birth to the age of six. For that is the time when a man's intelligence itself, his greatest implement, is being formed. But not only his intelligence; the full totality of his psychic powers."
- Dr. Maria Montessori, The Absorbent Mind, Dell Publishing, 1984, p. 33
