Hershey’s In-Person Gala Returns

Jan 31, 2022 | Events, School News | 0 comments

Save the Date – May 2022!

We are thrilled to be back in person this year with a live gala event! We invite you to join us in-person for this always-incredible annual spring fundraiser.

Journey to our Enchanted Garden Gala on Saturday, May 21 at 5:30 pm at Meadow Ridge Farm.  

This will be a beautiful evening spent in nature’s fresh spring air under a heated shelter, lending to a magical night amongst the wonderful Hershey community and its supporters.

Meadow Ridge Farm Venue

You will be surrounded by majestic views at the Meadow Ridge Farm venue while participating in silent and live auctions. You will be given the opportunity to enjoy the delicious offerings of the dessert dash, and appreciate the new twist on the wine pull this year that now includes the addition of craft beer.

While the gala is a wonderful time amongst friends, it also serves to provide the critically needed funding that benefits the children of Hershey and supports this successful educational template for students all over the world. Proceeds from the event go directly toward maintaining and enhancing optimal learning environments, staff development, and operational needs.

Be sure to check back on our website at the end of February for information on purchasing tickets for the Enchanted Garden Gala.

If you would like information on volunteering for this event, donating to it, or sponsorship opportunities, please see the links provided here.

Please note: this event will follow CDC guidelines related to social distancing and possibly require masks and/or proof of vaccination status.

What Is an Open House?

An Open House is a set time for prospective parents and students to visit our school campus to learn more about Hershey Montessori School’s curriculum and culture. The Open House is structured to provide a better understanding of what a school has to offer. There are numerous benefits of attending these school open houses, many of which cannot be achieved by simply browsing a school’s website. Not only do open houses allow you to see the campus, but they also provide valuable insight into the programs and culture of each school. 

 

What Are the Benefits of Attending an Open House?

Prospective families and students benefit greatly by attending a Hershey Montessori School Open House. There is only so much that can be learned from literature, browsing a website and its videos, or even peer reviews. An in-person visit provides greater understanding through physical experience.

When participating in a school Open House event:

  • You have face-to-face dialogue with school personnel and sometimes students.
  • You experience authentic classroom settings.
  • You learn more about the curriculum and will be able to differentiate between Hershey Montessori School and other schools.
  • You will gain a clearer understanding of the school’s values and its approach to education.
  • You will learn what outcomes can be expected from our Montessori education model.
  • You learn how the school communicates with you about your child’s educational progress.
  • You will get a feel for the culture of the school.
  • You will learn things that help you in your decision-making process.
  • You are given the opportunity to ask questions.
  • You will meet some really nice people! 🙂

 

What to Expect

You will be given a tour of the school building(s) and see our Montessori classrooms and our outdoor space that provides stress-reducing connections to nature. A presentation will be given, allowing time afterward for a question and answer session.

 

Takeaways

Attending a Hershey Montessori School Open House will inform and equip you to make the best decision for your child’s education. It will also allow you to visualize your child in the school setting and determine if it is a good fit. The feeling you get from being on campus will be an important indicator of whether the school is a good choice for your child and family. Ask questions, be open-minded, and trust your parental instincts.

How are English and the Language Arts taught for the older elementary child?

Join our AMI Upper Elementary Guides, Venus Kohler, and Sarah Tetzloff for this interactive presentation on Thursday, January 28th, from 6:00 – 7:00 pm on Zoom. 

Discover how we approach the content areas of writing, formats and style, grammar, expressive language, vocabulary building, reading comprehension, oral communication, public speaking and presentations. The older elementary child is developing a keen awareness of self. They begin to consider who they wish to emulate, and what their contribution be in the future. Their imagination is an unbridled force of energy that compels them to take on big work and go deeply into studying the world.

Language arts is interwoven into social studies, humanities, history, geography, science and the arts. Students continue to learn based upon interest and also in response to the dramatic key lessons they receive, they start to manage time with planners and journals. They learn self-evaluation of the quality of their work, as well as receiving individualized feedback from the guide.

Common language outcomes for children who complete Montessori elementary: our children are confident to use their voice and competent to express themselves. They are socially effective and compassionate communicators, articulate and expressive, avid readers, and have a great love of expression, whether it is poetry, drama, oratory, or public presentations.

Come join our Zoom to hear how this all comes about!

Join our AMI Elementary Guides, Jennifer Finan and Saren Peetz on Tuesday, January 26th from 6:00 to 7:00 pm on Zoom.

Why Montessori for the Elementary years? …..because your children between the ages of 6 and 12 have psychological needs and interests for which our education model is designed to scientifically respond.

Elementary children are hungry to understand everything in the universe and how it all interconnects. If your child asks you “why” questions, you know how driven they are to explore, find out and understand. Montessori education is designed to nurture that thirst for knowledge. Their language, mathematical thinking, and world knowledge skills soar.

Elementary children are social beings: they are motivated greatly by the social energy of their friends. That is why we give them purposeful opportunities to be able to work pairs and groups. Science proves they learn so much more from each other in a social context. They want to know the social order of how communities operate and get along so we teach them the social-emotional tools, and intentionally give them more freedom, within limits, to practice and apply their capacities for independence, and thus their self-confidence blooms.

The outcome we see in the child is gratitude for those who have come before, an innate passion for justice, and strong moral development roots.
