Eagle and Parkcenter's Spring Festival!

We had a fantastic time at this year's Spring Festivals... We appreciate the coordinators of the Festivals and the families that came out and had a good time. Every year we look forward to laughing, playing games, and getting together with other school families, it really is a special event.

Here are some pictures of the fun festivities...


Friends at Parkcenter digging for dinosaurs in the "Archaeology Dino Dig Site" aka the sandbox! We are still finding dinosaurs while playing during recess!


















Lot's of friends and family joined us at Eagle Montessori for the fun day. We were surprised and pleased with the large turn out!




















We decorated sugar cookies at Eagle's Spring Festival. During the school day we encourage low sugar snacks and lunches, but we understand that every once in a while a heavily frosted sugar cookie is necessary!










At Parkcenter we had fun trying to wrangle the floating rubber ducky's with plastic rings. It was tough but rewarding when we would pick out a fun prize after we were successful!









The "Tattoo Parlor" is also a huge hit. It's fun to see the tattoo's on the children's arms, faces, legs and hands the next day at school. A fun reminder of the night before!




Bean Bag Toss!

















This year we added a "Book Walk" instead of the standard cake or cupcake walk. It was a huge hit and everyone who played went home with a brand new book.





The Jumphouse is an essential part of the Spring Festival. It is always such a big hit.

It was another great year for the Spring Festival. Have a great summer!! Check back here next year for more PTO updates.

Boise Montessori's Annual Spring Festival and Silent Auction!

Hello family, friends and anyone else how has happened upon our little blog! We are hoping to post more happenings on this blog in the months and years to come. But for now we are very excited to announce the upcoming, and ongoing, Spring Festival and Silent Auction. We decided to something new this year and host our Silent Auction online. Its pretty cool, and our PTO volunteers have been working hard to gather lots of interesting items. The website is www.boisemontessoriauction.com! Bidding ends May 9th.

Our annual Spring Festival is a great family event that the PTO hosts every year. We have jumphouses, pizza and games. Its a nice oppurtunity to get out and meet other families at Eagle and Parkcenter Montessori. The Spring Festival this year will also host the Classroom Projects portion of the Silent Auction. A week before each schools event the items the children, along with their teachers, created will be on display and people can begin bidding. These items have great sentimental value and they are all cute enough to display for years to come. Be on the lookout for your child's class project.

Eagle Montessori's Spring Festival will be May 14th from 5:30-7:30pm
Parkcenter Montessori's Spring Festival will be May 29th from 5:30-7:30pm

We hope to see you all there.

Be on the lookout for new posts. Let us know if you like the blog and if you have any suggestions. Thanks again for your support!
