School hosts annual spring get together, and auction

The Fraser Woods Montessori School hosted its annual spring get-together gala and auction fundraiser event, “Let’s Get Acquainted at Aquila’s,” on May 1.

This year’s fundraiser supported the school’s Fund-A-Need campaign. This time money will go toward a new fabrication laboratory, which will include 3-D printers and a laser cutting machine.

The lab is meant to equip students in kindergarten through eighth grade with the tools to independently design, invent and create. It will cultivate an environment that encourages students to apply foundational knowledge to unique challenges. Additionally, it will encourage students to develop a growth mindset that they will carry to all future endeavors. Importantly, it is also a space where our studCents have fun. I
