Moving 4 Montessori

Portage Collaborative Montessori School understands that learning is best achieved when movement and intellectual activity are linked. Physical movement is part of a comprehensive education, health and wellness philosophy and the inspiration for our annual Moving 4 Montessori fundraiser (the number “4” a reference to the four planes of development at the center of the Montessori Method).
Moving 4 Montessori is a walk-a-thon-style event during which students from preschool through sixth grade take as many laps around the grounds as they can in a set period of time. Family and friends sponsor students with a single dollar amount. No laps are counted, but students are encouraged to keep moving – walking, running, skipping, dancing – with their peers, enjoying the outdoors and the benefits of movement, all while raising money for their school!
Donations go toward providing classroom materials, offsetting the cost of field trips, making improvements to the playground and purchasing equipment and technology for the school. Friends of Portage Collaborative Montessori School is a registered 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization.
