Each year, the Sands Montessori Parent Organization hosts our annual Read-a-Thon — where students read, read, READ while friends and family support them with either: a flat donation or a pledge per minute read. Read-a-Thon contributes the largest portion of funds for our operating budget year over year. 

The Sands Montessori Parent Organization is now accepting nominations for all positions on the SMPO Rudder except Business Manager. SMPO is one of many ways you can connect with others in the community AND become involved in the future of your child’s school!

Sands is open for enrollment! We have space in every grade! Direct them to call the office for more information. With your help we can stop the elimination of one 9-12 classroom/teacher/para and spread the beauty of Montessori education to more of Cincinnati’s children.
