At Oak Meadow Montessori School, our Parent Association plays a pivotal role in fostering a vibrant, supportive community. This year, we are thrilled to shine a spotlight on three outstanding parent leaders, Michelle Lauria, Brendan Russell and Lynda Vecchiarello, who are leading the efforts for our parent organization and our thriving community. Michelle and Linda are also spearheading this year’s Oak Meadow Gala, which will be held on March 22, 2025. More details will follow, but we know this event will be a memorable celebration of our school and community, thanks to their vision and hard work.
The partnership between school, student, and family is often likened to a three-legged stool, each leg essential to a child’s educational success. At Oak Meadow, we deeply value the contributions of our Parent Association as a critical component of this foundation. By engaging directly with parents, we strengthen our school culture, empower our teachers, and enrich the learning experience for every child.
This year, we’ve seen remarkable growth in the Oak Meadow Montessori Parent Association, reflecting a renewed commitment from families to play an active role in our school’s mission. Through events like the Gala, parent-led initiatives, and teacher appreciation efforts, these experiences do more than support the school—they build a thriving community. They create a space where families can form lasting connections, feel empowered to ask for help, and cultivate lifelong relationships.
In moments of celebration or challenge, this strong community reminds us all that we are not alone. The bonds formed through shared purpose and collaboration enrich not only the educational journey of our children but also the lives of every family involved.
To Michelle, Brendan, and Lynda, and all the incredible members of our Parent Association—thank you for your dedication, enthusiasm, and love for our community. Together, we create a learning environment where children thrive, and families feel deeply connected.
Mark your calendars for March 22, 2025, and stay tuned for more information about the Gala! We also invite all Oak Meadow families to join this growing movement—your involvement makes a difference!
