Orcas Montessori has begun its 16th annual holiday wreath fundraiser sale.

Hand-made of noble fir and decorated with blue-berried juniper, yellow tipped incense cedar, pine cones and a festive red velvet bow, the wreaths are available in 24”, 36”, and 40” diameter sizes for $25, $35 and $55, respectively.

“What better way to shop local and support Orcas children at the same time,” said Montessori committee chair Cathy Faulkner. “Place your order early for best selection. Great for your home or business, and provide lovely gifts for everyone on your client or gift list.”

Shipping to anywhere in the US is available for an additional fee. Local orders will have several pick-up dates to choose from, as well as additional hours throughout the shopping season. Delivery service is available for larger orders, local businesses or in cases of special needs.

Orcas Montessori School extends special appreciation to Island Hardware for their assistance in getting the wreaths to the island.

“By supporting the holiday wreath sale, you help sustain the dynamic educational program at Orcas Montessori School, encouraging independent thinking, creativity and self-motivation in our island children,” said Joe Thoron, Orcas Montessori school board president.

Order forms are available at the Orcas Montessori school at 1147 North Beach Rd., or online at www.orcasmontessori.org. To order by phone, call Cathy Faulkner at 376-2434.
