Building a school in Kenya

‘Brick by Brick’ – RMS helps build a school in Kenya

Rowntree Montessori Schools’ Academy is beginning an initiative this year with the Free the Children – Me to We Charity. We will be taking part in the “Brick by Brick” campaign which aims to build schools in developing countries all over the world, so that the children living there have an opportunity to gain a sound education.

RMS will begin its campaign by raising money to support the “Brick by Brick” campaign’s goal to build a school in Kenya. The RMAC (Rowntree Montessori Athletic Council) and MUN (Model United Nations) students will be selling “We Are Love” buttons. Our students and teachers will receive a “We Are Love” button when they contribute $2.00.

In addition, students and teachers may purchase buttons for their friends and family as a way to not only bring about awareness, but also to contribute financially to the “Brick by Brick” campaign, and ultimately, towards building a new school together in Kenya. This will be an ongoing initiative that RMS will be working towards on a long term basis. Each brick costs $20.00 and it takes 500 bricks to build a school.

Please drop by any of our campuses for a personal tour anytime Monday-Friday 9:00am-3:00pm to learn more about the RMS private school community of which we are so proud. If you prefer, call to book an appointment for a personal tour anytime Monday-Friday 9:00am-3:00pm.

Toys for Tots is a charitable endeavour that was initiated in 1993 by Peel Regional Police, in partnership with Canadian Tire and the Salvation Army. During the months of November and December, Police Officers and civilian staff volunteer their time to collect cash, Canadian Tire money and new unwrapped toys for children in need.

Total money raised by Rowntree Montessori Schools:
Academy campus: $52.50 and 270 toys collected!
Mayfield campus (11613 Bramalea Road): 34 toys collected!
Downtown campus (4 Elizabeth Street): $31.85 and 40 toys collected!
Central Park campus (502 Central Park Drive): $131.85 and 100 toys collected!
Bramalea campus (93 Autumn Blvd): $45.25 and 60 toys collected!

We thank the Rowntree Montessori Schools’ school community for their generous support.

In 2012, Toys for Tots raised over ONE MILLION DOLLARS to provide over 6,000 children with gifts at Christmas time.

For the last 9 years, Rowntree Montessori Schools has been invited to participate in the Charity Campaign launch and we love it!
