What We Do

Fundraising for Dater Montessori Elementary School

Friends of Dater Montessori raises funds to support students, teachers, classrooms, and the broader Dater Montessori community.

What We Fund

Montessori Educational Materials

Each year, one rotating grade-level community — 3-6, 6-9, 9-12, or Disability/Specials — receives approximately $10,000 to purchase new Montessori educational materials for every classroom within that community.

Individual Classroom Needs & Enhancements

We help teachers purchase materials, supplies, and resources that enhance the classroom experience.

Extracurricular Educational Experiences

We support opportunities that extend learning beyond the classroom, including field trips, special programs, and other enrichment experiences.

Playground Equipment & Outdoor Learning Materials

We help fund equipment and resources that encourage outdoor play, exploration, and learning.

Classroom Technology & Updates

We support technology, equipment, and classroom improvements that help keep learning environments current and engaging.

Principal Fund & Community Resources Fund

We provide flexible funding to help address important school and community needs throughout the year.

...and so much more!
