The Orcas Montessori School would like to express our heartfelt thank you to the United Way.

With a generous grant from the United Way, we were able to continue our crucial tuition assistance program during the 2013-2014 school year. The media has helped all of us become increasingly aware of the research showing the numerous and long lasting benefits a quality preschool program has on a child and their family, yet many island families are unable to afford preschool tuition without an assistance program.  Without the support of the United Way and the caring community members who make giving to the United Way a yearly act of generosity, programs like ours would be unable to meet the needs of our island families.

An investment in the most formative years of our children’s lives is an investment in the future strength and health of our island. The United Way’s support of our preschools and daycare programs is an example of its dedication to our community. We kindly ask the members of our island community to support and contribute to the United Way in all its valuable efforts.
