Social Outreach

Montessori Thrive • October 12, 2022

Each year our IMA families come together to support a charity or service our community. In the past we have supported the following charities:


  • A Book Drive for Exodus
  • Sponsored a Family in Need through Riley Children’s Hospital
  • Coin Drive and Monetary Support for the Alzheimer’s Association and Project Sunshine in honor of the Buskirk and McCray Families of IMA.
  • Coin and Food Drive for the Merciful Help Center
  • Coin and Donation Drive for the American Red Cross in honor of hurricane victims
  • Coin and Donation Drive for St. Mary’s Children’s Center
  • Coin and Donation Drive for The Patachou Foundation


On the day of the event, our IMA students, siblings, parents and other loved ones decorate cookies, make a craft together and we all enjoy one another’s company for a great cause! Children have such genuine and caring hearts! We strongly believe instilling the gifts of generosity, service and charity into your young child’s mind is a benefit learned at an early age and will continue throughout his/her life! Whether or not you're able to contribute, please come and spend some time with our IMA family. You make being part of this amazing group so much fun, and the children always love to see one another at school events.

One of the central tenets of the Montessori philosophy is independence—helping children do things for themselves.
