The preschool years are the perfect time to have a contemporary custom portrait taken of your child.  Jennifer Ashby Photography has teamed up with Lakewood Montessori PTO to raise funds for the 2009-2010 school year.  

Jennifer will work with you to create a work of photographic art customized for your family.  15% of every portraiture order is donated back to Lakewood Montessori.  Portrait sessions for the next school year can be scheduled now.  Last year we photographed 5 Lakewood Montessori families and raised more than $550  for Lakewood Montessori!  

Give Jennifer a call to schedule your personalized portrait planning session.

Box Tops can be found on hundreds of products that we all use every day.  Lakewood Montessori PTO will earn $.10 for every Box Top redeemed.  The Box Top collection bags are located by the white boards outside each classroom.

Shopping online can also earn money for Lakewood Montessori.  Box Tops for Education has partnered with over 70 popular stores that donate a percentage (up to 15%) of your online purchases back to Lakewood Montessori.  Register to become a Box Top member at www.btfe.com and click on the Marketplace tab at the top of the page.  Select Lakewood Montessori as your school and then click on the link to the retailer of your choice, including: Baby Gap, Gap and Gap Kids, Barnes and Noble, Oriental Trading, Land of Nod, Lands End, Leaps and Bounds, Pottery Barn & PB Kids, OfficeMax, Best Buy, Home Depot, Target and many more.

Every year our school takes advantage of free educational supplies we can earn with Campbell's labels. With enough labels our school can qualify for art, athletic and educational equipment.  Please cut out labels and put them in the bags hanging near the white boards outside each classroom.  Be sure to cut out just the UPC symbol (not the entire label).
