Golden Beads is very pleased to announce that over the summer we were able to fund 100% of the grant requests we received from Bryant and Geiger teachers with the proceeds from Montessori ROCKS! We disbursed a little over $5,500 to nine teachers to provide replacement Montessori materials for three Children's House classrooms, financial assistance for Middle School Teacher Training at CMSTEP in Ohio, fiction/non-fiction chapter books for a lower elementary classroom, supplemental Montessori math materials for Lower Elementary, Montessori cultural curriculum reading material, and more! Thank you to everyone who supported Montessori ROCKS! Planning for Montessori ROCKS 2013 is underway - stay tuned for details on this upcoming February event!
