Montessori is also about shared community efforts and outcomes.

In the Montessori spirit, we always welcome certain general school supplies, which may be used across a wide range of classes and potentially the entire school including administration. As a community, we all benefit from everyone’s efforts.

The optional school supplies list below may be updated periodically throughout the school year as donations come in, supplies are consumed, or classroom needs change. Thank you for considering these optional supplies, which are gratefully accepted in the Front Office anytime:

  • Copier paper – 8.5”x 11” copier paper; 1 or more whole reams or even a case.
  • Card Stock Paper (Any color-White is used most of all for our language lessons.)
  • Sanford EXPO Dry Erase Markers – various colors are appreciated!
  • Kleenex-brand or similar tissues in regular, oblong box – we never seem to have enough!
  • Gift Cards for PetSmart.com or Petco.com are always welcome in support of classroom pets!

Thank you for your continued and unwavering support of our students and The Montessori School of Donelson. We are excited about our new school year and together we are can make our school the very best it can be!
