School opens doors and grounds for family fun
McGRATHPR.com – Old Colony Montessori School (OCMS), the South Shore’s premiere Montessori educational institution since 1963, presents an Open House, from 10 am to 12 noon, and a Fall Fair, from 12 noon to 2 pm, both on Saturday, October 19, at its campus at 247 Gardner Street, Hingham. All families from across the region are welcome to attend both events.
Come one, come all to enjoy a celebration of educational fun and family! OCMS’s Open House welcomes families to learn more about its programs and learning model in the school’s main building. All three multi-aged classrooms, serving young students ages 2.9 to 6, are open for tours and exploration. Teachers are available in a meet and greet atmosphere, welcoming questions about programs. Children are encouraged to visit the playground for some playtime during their visit.
OCMS’s Fall Fair, held on the school’s expansive back field, offers an all-things-family festival of autumn. Seasonal costumes welcome! Jim Armstrong (of the Armstrong Brothers duo) entertains with family-friendly music performed on guitar. Pony rides, arts and crafts, a touch-a-truck exhibit, games and a costume parade round out a delightful afternoon of fun. Food and refreshments will be available for purchase, and a cider donut tree is generously provided by Jac’s Cafe of Rockland.
