Donate your time, your knowledge, your resources—all are greatly appreciated!
Smaller ways, larger ways. It all matters.

In the classroom: Contact your child's classroom teacher and find out how you can help, and when!
At events: Unable to make an MCA meeting but still interested in helping at school festivals and events? Have your eye on the Fall Festival? Contact one of our Parent Engagement Liaisons, Vinny Rondinelli or Sarah Offhaus, who will help you figure out the best way to pitch in. Call, text, or email:

MCA: The Montessori Community Association organizes parents, creates and staffs events, and is always brainstorming new ways families at BPMC can support other families and enrich the school. See our mission statement here, and contact one of the parents on the page. Or just show up at the next meeting. We hope to see you there!
