A Legacy of Learning | 1894

Step Back in Time for an Evening of History, Elegance, and Purpose!

Join us on Saturday, May 31, 2025, at the breathtaking Miraval Berkshires for MSB's Legacy of Learning | 1894 Gala & Auction - a night inspired by courage, innovation, and transformation.

In 1894, Maria Montessori was defying expectations as she pursued her medical degree in Italy, ultimately becoming the country's first female doctor of medicine. Her resilience and determination during a time when women faced immense societal barriers laid the foundation for a revolutionary approach to learning. Montessori's scientific and humanistic approach to education, grounded in her deep understanding of child development, continues to shape the experiences of Montessori School of the Berkshires students today. The legacy of her groundbreaking work still resonates as we nurture curious, independent learners who embody the same resilience and passion for discovery that Maria Montessori displayed over a century ago.

Together, we'll honor the pioneering spirit of Maria Montessori and ensure her vision continues to thrive at the Montessori School of the Berkshires.

✨ Experience an unforgettable evening featuring:
🍽️ Exquisite dining & drinks
🎶 Live entertainment
🎁 A thrilling auction & raffle-including our one-of-a-kind Community Quilt Project

Every ticket, sponsorship, and donation directly supports MSB's mission, helping us enrich programs, provide scholarships, and invest in the future of our students.

Tapestry of Togetherness Quilt Drawing

A Tapestry of Togetherness: The MSB Community Quilt

This year, our MSB community has come together to create something truly special-a one-of-a-kind Community Quilt, crafted with love, creativity, and connection. Every member of our school, from the youngest students to parents, teachers, and staff, has contributed to this project, making it a beautiful reflection of the spirit that unites us.

Each square of the quilt represents a unique touch-hand-drawn designs, fabric patterns, and stitches that tell the story of our shared journey. As these individual pieces have come together, they've woven a tapestry of warmth, creativity, and collaboration, much like the MSB community itself.

Now, this extraordinary quilt will find a new home through our Community Quilt Drawing.

Thank you for being part of this special initiative-we're excited to share this quilt and its meaning with our amazing community!
