Community Night Out @ Sawmill
This Friday, November 14, 5:30 - 7:00PM
Please join the MRGC & FOMF communities for an evening at Sawmill!
Sharing an evening out with your school community is a great way for families to connect in a relaxed, fun setting. Kids can play while parents chat, catch up, and meet new families. Sharing food, drinks, and a treat or two gives everyone a chance to slow down and enjoy being together outside of the busy school day. It’s a night where friendships grow naturally, conversations feel easy, and everyone gets to feel a little more connected to the school community.
Hope to see you there!

4th Annual Fire & Ice Dragonfly Gala
Sponsorships & Early Bird Tickets Now On Sale
The Fire & Ice 4th Annual Dragonfly Gala is the Friends of the Montessori Foundation’s largest fundraising event of the year, with proceeds directly supporting Montessori of the Rio Grande Charter School (MRGC). Funds raised help provide classroom resources, enrichment programs, and opportunities that state funding alone cannot cover—ensuring students and teachers have the tools they need to thrive.
This year, families also have the option to contribute $10 or $25 at checkout to help sponsor a teacher’s ticket, making it easier for more of our incredible educators to attend and be part of the celebration. Early bird tickets are available for $125 through December 1, offering a chance to secure your spot while supporting our community.
Sponsorships are another important way to make a meaningful impact. Sponsor contributions help elevate the gala and directly strengthen the school’s programs, staff support, and student experiences. In appreciation, sponsors receive recognition and exclusive benefits throughout the event. We invite you to review this year’s sponsorship options and discover how your support can enrich MRGC while enjoying a memorable evening with friends, families, and our wider school community.
Be on the lookout for your formal invitation in Friday Folders.
