Montessori Preparatory Academy has been a cornerstone for families in our community, providing care and education from daycare through 6th grade. My child has been part of this school for over three years, and during that time, I’ve grown close to many of the dedicated teachers and staff who have shaped our children’s lives. Their commitment to nurturing and teaching has made a lasting impact on countless families, including my own.

Recently, the academy closed its doors overnight due to irresponsible management and financial missteps by the owner. This sudden closure has left a group of teachers without jobs, income, or the security they need to care for themselves and their families. Many are now struggling to pay rent, buy groceries, and afford basic necessities. The abrupt loss of employment has put these educators in a difficult position, and the urgency to help them is immediate.

I am organizing this fundraiser to support these teachers as they navigate this challenging time. Every contribution will go directly toward helping them cover essential expenses while they search for new opportunities. By coming together as a community, we can show our appreciation for their years of service and help them get back on their feet.
