2026-27 Annual Giving Campaign
Natural Environments, Promising Futures
This year, our Annual Giving Campaign is about both enhancing the experiences our students have today and strengthening White Rock Montessori for the future.
“When children come into contact with nature, they reveal their strength”
As Maria Montessori understood, engagement with the natural world is a critical part of a child’s development, physically, mentally, and spiritually. Natural environments give students meaningful opportunities to care for animals, connect with nature, and practice responsibility. They develop gross motor skills and refine their balance and strength; they observe and express curiosity in plants and animals; they develop empathy for living beings by caring for animals.
We’re raising funds to improve the outdoor spaces that make our school so special, including replacing our aging chicken coop, repairing and refreshing our outdoor buildings, and building a new goat enclosure.
A portion of this year’s gifts will also support the long-term financial health of White Rock Montessori through contributions to our endowment and reserves, as well as ongoing building maintenance and improvements. These investments help us prepare for future needs, protect our campus, and ensure that our school remains strong and sustainable for generations of Montessori students.
Your gift helps us care for the school we have today while building a stronger White Rock Montessori for tomorrow.
Wendy Akin Scholarship Fund
The Wendy Akin Scholarship Fund was established in 2023 to make an authentic Montessori education accessible to families who might not otherwise have the opportunity to attend White Rock Montessori. Rooted in the belief that every child deserves the chance to learn, grow, and thrive in a nurturing environment, this fund helps bridge the gap between financial limitations and educational opportunity. Through the generosity of our community, we are able to welcome more children into our classrooms.
The fund was established in honor of Wendy Akin, who served as a Primary guide at White Rock Montessori for 42 years.
Endowment Fund
Your gift to the White Rock Montessori Endowment Fund is an investment in the future of our school and the children we serve. Endowment gifts provide lasting support for scholarships, exceptional learning opportunities, and the long-term strength of our Montessori community. Give today at the link below.
