First Parents Informational Meeting for Applying to the 2009-2010 School Year

Wednesday, March 18th, the founders group of Golden Oak Montessori held the first of two informational meeting for parents.  Forty-five interested parents attended.  They viewed a slide show presentation by founders group co-chair Aneema Van Groenau, and then a short movie about Montessori education.  Questions were answered for about half an hour.  Overall, it was a big success-- there is plenty of interest in the Hayward community for our school we have worked so hard and long to start!

If you missed the first meeting, see the previous posting below for the date and time of the 2nd meeting.


Some school founders placing 1st-class stamps on almost 2000 envelopes addressed to the parents of every kindergarten student in the Hayward Unified School District, informing them of the meetings.

Other news-- we signed the lease for the school with the YMCA on Palisade St., so this will be the school's official location, and we've hired a Director for the school!  More details to come.
