Border Star Montessori

Good news!  You still have time to gather sponsors!

The “Jump Rope for Heart” event has been moved to next Friday (March 9).

All students who have collected money will still be able to visit the gym from 10:30 am to 11:30 am for the “Jump Rope for Heart” event.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact Mr. McCrory.

Stop by the auditorium on Friday at 2 pm and check out the “Read Across America” event during the Spirit Assembly.

“Read Across America” is an NEA sponsored event designed to encourage students to read and use their reading resources to their fullest.  The annual event takes place on or around March 2 in honor of Dr. Seuss. For more information, contact Mrs. Finley or visit the NEA website at www.nea.org.

To improve communication between parents and school, the Kansas City Public Schools implemented an automated phone messaging system.

SchoolReach will enable school personnel to notify all households and parents by phone within minutes of an emergency or unplanned event. The service may also be used from time-to-time to communicate general announcements or reminders.
