One World Montessori School hosts a fundraising event each year. In the past few years, we have organized a Wine and Cheese Tasting Evening combined with an auction of donated items, with proceeds going to help One World. In 2008, the wine and cheese tasting will be held Friday, April 11, at the Decathlon Club in Santa Clara. These events, and the generous contributions of parents and other interested parties, helps us enormously. You can order your tickets online thru www.acteva.com/go/owm. Businesses interested in participating in this year's Wine and Cheese Tasting, or in contributing to the general cause, are encouraged to download the Merchandise Donor Form and the Merchant Sponsor Letter. Anyone wishing to make a cash donation should contact the office at 408-723-5140, or email us here.

On an ongoing basis, there are several other ways to lend us a hand.

We have a sponsor arrangement with Amazon that provides One World with a small return if you buy books from Amazon through our web site. We get 5% of all book purchases you make from them, and 15% of the purchase if you order any of the Montessori or child development books listed here .
