Fall Frolic is more than just the Montessori Academy at Edison Lakes' annual 5K/2K race—it's a heartwarming tradition that fuels our Montessori Early Childhood classroom at the Center for the Homeless. Each year, this inspiring event unites the TMA family with the broader community, all running together with a shared purpose: to ensure our Montessori early Childhood classroom at the Center is fully equipped to nurture and educate its young students. After the race, the celebration continues with a lively fall festival, where participants of all ages can enjoy festive activities, sweet treats, and joyful camaraderie. This race is a powerful testament to our collective dedication and compassion, bringing hope, resources, and smiles to those who need them most.
