Our Parents & Friends Association (PFA)

In the tradition of the Montessori Movement, Adams Montessori School believes that collaboration and cooperation are the hallmarks of a thriving, vibrant community. The social fabric of each class and our school as a whole provides learning opportunities for our children every day. Maria Montessori believed that a thriving, cohesive community provides a role model for children, encouraging them to become lifelong responsible and collaborative individuals.

The Parents and Friends Association seeks to foster a connection between members of our Montessori. A culture of unity and concern for our mutual welfare develops when the community comes together for educational or recreational occasions. The entire community benefits from working towards building an awareness of a spirit of affiliation. Valuable partnerships are formed and strengthened between the school and families through enjoyable and informative gatherings.

The PFA seeks to promote communication, participation and support to the Montessori community. The PFA the school picnics in the fall and spring, the spring concert, the pancake breakfast and more. It also supports Adams through fundraising efforts throughout the year and providing resources for the school.

Class Parents

Each primary and elementary community has a class parent who assists teachers in organizing events. The class parent helps arrange summer get-togethers, enlist family participation for our open houses and field trips, and provides refreshments for our parent information series and new parent orientation, and supports other social and class events as they occur.

Host Families

Each spring, host families welcome new families to the Adams Montessori School community. It’s a great opportunity to meet other families and help strengthen the fabric of our community. We ask that families organize play dates and invite new families to the end of year picnic.

Community Outreach

Along with the elementary class, the PFA participates in community service projects here and abroad. Adams Montessori School participates in the holiday gift donations for Inter-Faith Services in Quincy, the Heifer Project and Pennies for Peace.
