Whidby Elementary
On Monday, December 10th 2007, to much applause and joy, Whidby was officially made a chapter of the FOM organization at the FOM Executive Board meeting. Whidby Elementary is the second oldest public Montessori program in Houston. We are proud of our history and continue working towards a bright future with Friends of Montessori at our side.
Friends of Montessori at Whidby are committed to the HISD concept of “Parents as Partners” in their children’s education. We strive to increase communication between parents, the school and HISD and to provide opportunities for this communication to take place. We also fundraise to provide financial resources for classroom materials, teacher education and for the promotion of the Montessori program. Mark your calendar for our Annual Bar-B-Q fundraiser and Art Auction in February.
Whidby Elementary's Montessori Magnet program is a School Within a School in Houston's South Union neighborhood and serves about 130 students from all over Houston. To find out more visit the school website or call (713) 746-8170.
