MUSHU🦎 & FINN🐇UPDATE! It’s National Kids and Pets Day, so we wanted to tell you about how our pets are doing!

To make sure she was comfortable during construction at the school, Mushu recently joined Ms. Hope’s family and is enjoying home life with her human sister! Finn has continued his retirement life as a family pet, but recently paid a visit to a local preschool to teach them about caring for animals.

🎉 It’s time to REUNITE! All former TGPM students and staff from over the years are invited to join us with their families to reconnect! ☀️🛝🌳

Poway ❄️Winter Festival⛄️ is this weekend at Poway Community Park! Free entry includes: ice skating, sledding, snow play, crafts, photo booth and more!⛸📸🛷 https://www.poway.org/893/Winter-Festival

Community events are great opportunities for TGPM alumni staff and students to reconnect. Will you be there?

Last weekend, a few TGPM teachers got together to enjoy the holiday lights at Candy Cane Lane in Poway. Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season! ✨

Last weekend, TGPM staff got together for a night of bowling to reconnect! 🥳🍕 It was so fun to see the team together again, reminiscing and swapping stories about what everyone is up to after parting ways last month. We hope to see you all again soon!

FINN UPDATE! 🐰💛 Can you believe it was 2 years ago that Finn was first introduced to TGPM? We know so many of you have been missing our beloved school rabbit, so we wanted to share an update on how he's doing! He really misses all of his friends at school, but has been enjoying his time at home with his human and dog sisters, and they've been making sure he gets LOTS of pets and yummy treats!

In honor of what would be his 2nd TGPM Adoptiversary, we hope you think of a favorite memory you have of Finn today!

Many of us may have gone our separate ways recently, but we hope you'll consider attending our first TGPM Community Connections gathering this weekend, where our alumni families and staff will reunite to connect, celebrate, and share exciting updates and new milestones!

This event is particularly close to our hearts as it honors our very own TGPM alumni, Rowan! 💚 Follow the link for more info and to join or donate to Team Rad Ro: https://conta.cc/3SeSfbt

We're thrilled to share that our TGPM logowear fundraiser resulted in a $645 donation to Team Rad Ro! In addition, The Growing Place Montessori contributed another $325 to register over a dozen TGPM staff members to participate in the event! 💰💰💰

Thank you to all who contributed to this wonderful cause, and we look forward to seeing our TGPM staff and families at the Unite Walk coming up this Sunday, October 22nd at Liberty Station! Click here for more info: https://conta.cc/3SeSfbt
