marquette needs your help now

URGENT marquette needs your help now Classrooms are FULL – More students coming Our classrooms already have more students per room than intended.  The popularity of the program and the growth in the neighborhood could mean 34+ children in every classroom next year.  South Bend School Corp does not want this; neither do we!  We have worked with SBCSC to create a plan to move 4th grade and add 5th grade Marquette Montessori students to Muessel.  This option helps keep existing class sizes manageable for ALL Marquette students – it is important to your child’s education. GOAL: $5,000 in family contributions by Nov 27, 2013 ANY dollar amount is welcome!   Raising this money will get us started on asking local businesses and other organizations for matching donations to help us fund the new classrooms.  SBCSC is working to provide most of the funds for this plan out of their budget, but our fundraising will show that South Bend families want this school & its students to have a chance to continue to grow. If you have questions about the specifics of the expansion, you can look for information on www.marquettepto.org or call Tracey Thomas at (574) 282-2995.
