The Friends of Montessori Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to raise funds to support the mission and vision of Montessori of the Rio Grande Charter School to be a model public Montessori School.

Friends of Montessori are very excited APS finally bought the school property and vacant land. Now we can move forward and see the renderings come to life which would give generations of kids to come a great learning eco-friendly environment. The bond election in February is supposed to fund new buildings for MRGC and the school should receive $3 million. The foundation will still have to raise money to help support programs and step in with maintenance issues.

The Foundation can focus its efforts more now on supporting valuable school programs such as the PE and music that were saved thanks to last year's Mini Cooper Raffle.
