Yesterday, our first day of Primary, 2024-25! Eleven returning students jumped right into works, and Miss Noelle had a host of presentations lined up. New students will start one or two at a time over the next couple of weeks. Our primary will have 20 students to start the year once everyone is added in. Prayers for a great new year. Prayers also for all of our supporters. You make this possible. Thank you! #montessori #montessorischool #montessorieducation #hilltopmontessorischool #steubenvilleohio #Steubenville #montessoriinsteubenville #montessorichildrenshouse

Front Page News!
The Steubenville Herald-Star has a nice write up of Mr. Tom completing the course work for his AMI Elementary diploma through the Southwest Institute of Montessori Studies. Miss Noëlle, of course, earned her AMI Primary diploma through SIMS in 2021.
We were happy to discuss what this means for the children entrusted to our care.
Check out our website for a link, if you don’t get the Sunday paper in print.

Slime camp was a messy blast! The children made gak, ooblek, fluffy slime, play doh, clear slime artworks, baked clay creations, edible slime, and even some elephant toothpaste! They also did some experiments with different ingredients to see what kind of concoctions they could make!

Our end-of-year picnic became a zoo! No, really. Paper mache animals, made by our Elementary students during the final three weeks of the school year, made the picnic more than just an opportunity for families to get together and have a good time. Learn more at our website, link in bio.

It’s #GivingTuesday 2020. Like so many other worthy charities we are seeking your support.
We began this year in spite of COVID with twelve children. Since we do not wish ability to pay to be a barrier, seven of those twelve have received some level of tuition reduction.
As you can see in the photos below from our Instagram feed, it has been a pleasing year thus far. We have added:
- a dishwashing stand where children can learn to wash and dry their own dishes after snack;
- a knobs and screws work for the children to learn how to use basic tools;
- aprons and oil cloth underlays to increase the number of children who can do pouring works;
- some outdoor tools for raking leaves;
- more books for our reading corner, among other things.
Our ask for #GivingTuesday is two-fold:
Large Needs
Heating and Ventilation: First, if you can give a large amount, it will help us shore up our aging heating and cooling system. Our furnace, air conditioning unit, and ductwork are very old and need to be serviced badly. Such work doesn’t fit into the regular budget, so an emergency could be catastrophic for us.
Outdoor Works: Second, we would love to provide an outdoor space where children could go to do outdoor works in a secure and well-designed yard. This requires a retaining wall and fence around the perimeter.
Larger gifts will help make these possible sooner rather than later.
Smaller Needs
For those who cannot give a large amount, would you consider becoming a monthly donor? Monthly donors are the lifeblood of our operations, allowing us to plan for the future. We are looking for 20 new donors at the $20 level by the end of the year. We have nine new monthly donors, could you help us close that gap with a first $20 monthly donation?
Whatever you give, we thank you from the bottoms of our hearts. God bless!
