RED Friday Flag Sticker Stickers and Decals BP-1331

R.E.D. Friday stands for "Remember Everyone Deployed"

You may have noticed some of our faculty wearing red on Fridays - It's not due to our holiday spirit, but to show support for a young member of our community as they experience separation from a deployed parent. We invite you to join us in wearing red on Fridays to show support for and honor U.S. service members currently deployed overseas, as well as veterans.

#RedFriday, #RememberEveryoneDeployed

We invite you to schedule a classroom observation:

This is a wonderful opportunity to see Montessori in action and experience your child’s classroom environment firsthand. Observations are available through March Break.
