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
