Thanks SO much to all who contributed to making last Sunday's 3rd Annual Family Fun Run & Road Race
such a great success! From our host - SNHU - to our partners and sponsors, to our day-of- crew, and of course to our over 100 runners, we send a resounding thank you! The event raised well
over
$4000 in support of our public Montessori school, in large part because of our many sponsors and partners (celebrated on our race day t-shirts). It takes a village to pull off an event like this, and we are so lucky to have the love and support of so many!
There are many to acknowledge (and we do so below), but please first
join us in sending a HUGE thank you to MFCS Parent, Amanda Gerardi, to first dream up this event a few years back, and then work tirelessly, attending to every details, large and small year after year!
We gathered at SNHU's beautiful new stadium for under a
bright blue sky, to enjoy
this great outdoor and healthy event. MFCS Parents and student athletes from the University stood side-by-side, engaging and encouraging our kiddos. The University's generous donation of breakfast and snacks were also much appreciated!
The day-of crew was key, and they shared their strength and
energy from the crack of dawn until the end of the morning event. That team included:
Katie Cote who mapped out the route with signs; Kristin Ross, Ms. Devon, Lisa Zonfrillo and Simone Serrao-Gore who ran the registration tables; Ms. Alyssa ran the morning warm up exercises; Marie Rouleau womanned the snack table;
Lauren Doukas painted faces all morning long!
Harlan & Catie Brumm ran the t-shirt decoration station;
Tamara Salomon
loaned her obstacle course; Carolyn Stanek created the photo mural; Rachel Marziano, Kim & Michael Robinson and Jen Kulesza were on hand to help keep things running smoothly.
Please note... If you are looking to get your hands on a cool race day

This week a group of 4th Year Students headed to Concord for the annual
Delta Dental Student Leadership Summit which is hosted by
NH Board of Education Chair, Tom Raffio and organized by
John Jay Bonstingl of Bonstingl Leaders for the Future
.
This Summit is comprised of a small selection
of students from New Hampshire schools and and is an activity-oriented summit of fun. Students spend the majority of their time working together to learn and develop leadership skills to be used within our school and hopefully in our community. Special thanks to Ms. Sherry who accompanied our students this year on this engaging 2-day leadership development adventure.
