NewGate Talks for Parents
|
NewGate and the Montessori Foundation offer an ongoing series of workshops, discussions, and presentations for parents. Two or more topics are normally offered every month. Some will be held after morning drop-off, some in the afternoon before school ends, and some in the evenings. Some will be small and intimate discussions or hands on workshops for small groups, others over the year will be for larger audiences and will be held off campus.
These talks are offered to NewGate families and friends of the school.
