Typically about 20 children perform, one after another, in each room with about 3 minutes per presentation, so the little siblings don't get too fidgety. The PTA contribution to this event varies from year to year. In past year's PTA has provided refreshments. This was a combination of craft activites, wood working projects, and magic show finale. The activities are priced for fund raiser, ending with a group event.
Food is usually available.
The coordinator of special events has the option of doing the same sort of event or creating a new idea. This committee attracts many parent volunteers and the hours depend greatly on what project the coordinator picks. With Montessori Magic the planning started in October and the event was held in January. Hours of meetings are according to what works for the committee. This is another highlight educational event for the Montessori at Franklin students.
