New School Montessori 3rd Grader Wins Grant from Little Tree Huggers

One of our industrious 3rd-grade students decided to apply for a grant from Little Tree Huggers to help fund a landscaping project at The New School Montessori. With the addition of the Kaleidoscope Center scheduled to be built this fall and the garden property next to the Ginkgo House, we have new opportunities to beautify our space with interesting and biodiverse plants and trees.

When asked why she thought to apply for a grant, she said, “At first I was going to sell lemonade, but it appears you need a permit for that!” Luckily her mom found Little Tree Huggers on the internet and suggested applying for a grant as an option instead.

We are so grateful to them both and want to congratulate this youngster for her drive and commitment to this important school project. She set the tone for our school’s auction where we followed her lead in support of “Bloom,” the name of this landscaping project.
