Hello to all,
Wanted to inform all of you (who have been
instrumental in your support) that, after months of intense
negotiation with the Dept. of Education, we have finally secured a
classroom at the Adrienne Serrano School, for the second phase
expansion of the Vieques Montessori project. We will begin work on
the building this weekend & expect to be able to commence class on
the 15th of February. Parents & students are eager to begin & so is
our staff.
The students, our Montessori guide Lisha Tirado,
my wife Wanda & I are all personally very grateful for Sheila's fund
raising efforts and for the material support you have all provided.
THANK YOU!
Please see photos attached below of our current
classroom at the Juanita Rivera Albert School in Esperanza (for kids
ages 3-5) & the classroom provided (for ages 6-9) that will now be
remodeled into a proper Montessori environment.
Best regards,
Gustavo Marin

Hi,
Hope you are having a terrific summer.
The Montessori School in Vieques needs to raise some
money. Altogether they need $10,000. If we all
contribute $250.00 (tax deductible) dollars, we can meet
that goal without another pig roast or auction. Plus we
get to feel pretty good about helping the children of
Vieques.
I'm certain I don't need to hype the Montessori School.
Gustavo Marin who founded the school in Vieques wrote
the information below. Please take a moment to write a
check for $250.00 to Casa Montessori de Vieques and mail
it to :

Eli and I are happy to make a pledge of $500.00 from the
Crow's Nest.
Your contribution is tax deductible and 100% of it goes
to the school. There are no administrative costs taken
out so you can be assured that your gift will benefit
the children directly.
Please drop me a email to say you've made a contribution
and you're not mad at me.
Thanks so much,
Sheila and Eli
The Montessori School in Vieques
Casa Montessori de Vieques, the first Montessori school
project to be established in Vieques Island, would like
to share with you our goals, needs, intent and progress.
Casa Montessori De Vieques was born out of a dire need
to establish an alternative and successful schooling
system in Vieques.
The Montessori method offers such an opportunity. Its
vision of education is that of preparation for life. The
child receives the tools needed to develop inner
resources. It fosters a childs innate creativity and
natural desire for learning. The principles that guide
Montessori are based in the natural, individual
development of a child.
As of January 2007 CMV has provided a Montessori
bi-lingual education to twenty children, from the ages
of 3-6. Our Montessori Method trained instructor, Mrs.
Carmen Ledee, currently teaches a class of sixteen
students.
We are located in the Esperanza neighborhood, within the
premises of the Juanita Rivera Albert Elementary School.
Throughout our community word has spread of the
advantages and benefits of a Montessori education. As of
today, we have a waiting list of Twenty-nine students.
CMV is currently training our future new Montessori
instructor, Mrs., Lisha Tirado, in order to welcome our
expanding list of children.
Our staff believes that it is the disadvantaged children
that would benefit the most, if allowed access to good
education. Our aim is to provide this opportunity to
every boy and girl.
We are appealing, for financial support, to those who
have an interest in the betterment of our community.
