"The greatest gifts we can give our children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence." ~Maria Montessori

MMS Spring Gala 2026: Roots & Wings

Friday, May 15, 6:30-9:30 p.m.

Edgewood Country Club

At Mountaineer Montessori School, we are nurturing curiosity, discovery and the inner discipline that gives children the wings to take their learning as high and far as they can!

"Roots & Wings," the 2026 MMS Spring Gala, is our major fundraiser that uplifts possibilities for the nearly 200 children whom we are honored to serve -- and our community -- by generating essential funding for teacher training and appreciation, facilities, and financial aid-more than $25,000 in tuition grants and scholarships to Charleston families in 2025-26!

Sponsorships and tickets are now for sale! 

We hope you will join us on Friday, May 15, at Edgewood Country Club for an uplifting evening as we...

* Celebrate education that gives wings to our students and community
* Applaud MMS programs and faculty
* Enjoy heavy hors d'oeuvres, wine, beer and soft drinks
* Bid on amazing class art projects and other exclusive items-online and in person
* Enjoy entertainment by talented MMS staff members and Vinyl Village
* Mingle with old friends and new
* Lift up the next generation of innovators, problem solvers, entrepreneurial thinkers and community builders.

Please plan to join us for a great night of fun and friendship benefiting your child's school...everyone is welcome!
