Fountainhead Montessori School 

Fountainhead Montessori Schools Educational Philosophy Dr. Maria Montessori revolutionized education with her dynamic theories, which are the basis for Fountainhead’s educational philosophy. Each child is an individual accorded the respect due to every person. At the same time, children are not miniature adults; instead they think and learn in ways unique to their special time in life. Fountainhead Montessori provides an environment for children to literally create themselves through purposeful activity. Children age 18 months to 6 years old experience and learn through all of their senses. Everything is hands-on. When activity is purposeful, developmentally appropriate, and, above all, fun, learning is joyful.

Indivisible Tri Valley is joining forces with local organizations to produce the Tri Valley Polluters Pay Climate Superfund Town Hall, one of dozens that will occur statewide this year. &nbsp;The event is free to participants.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The Polluters Pay Climate Superfund Act would hold major fossil fuel companies accountable for their share of climate damages to our state, and reinvest that money in community resilience, clean energy, the essential workers responding to climate disasters, and much more.&nbsp; As an Indivisible Youth leader Freyjaa Kirti, senior at Granada High School, stated, “You break it, you fix it”.&nbsp; &nbsp; <a href="https://actionnetwork.org/events/tri-valley-polluters-pay-townhall" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Register Here</a>&nbsp; <a href="https://actionnetwork.org/events/tri-valley-polluters-pay-townhall" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://actionnetwork.org/events/tri-valley-polluters-pay-townhall</a>

What to Expect:
<ul><li>Powerful Stories: Hear from diverse local speakers on the frontlines of health, planning, youth activism, biodiversity and more</li><li>Energetic Education: Learn exactly how a "Polluters Pay" policy works with keynote speaker Dr. Clair Brown, professor of Economics at U.C. Berkeley&nbsp;</li><li>Interactive Action: Expect speaker spotlights, engaging activities for all ages, and facilitated discussion tables&nbsp;</li><li>Community Growth: Connect with other members of your community who are serious about accountability for climate disasters, climate action, and winning the transformative investments we all need.</li></ul>

This is a family-friendly event.&nbsp;
From devastating fires and floods to extreme heat and more intense storms, climate change is here, and the costs are only rising for Californians statewide. The world's biggest fossil fuel polluters are overwhelmingly responsible for this intensifying climate devastation, but right now, it’s taxpayers and families struggling to rebuild who are footing the bill.&nbsp; Explore the civic strategies needed to flip the script.&nbsp; Register to join the email list for future gatherings and resources.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

This family-friendly community event brings people together to help conquer childhood cancer by raising money for lifesaving research through the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, the world’s largest charity funder of childhood cancer research grants.

The event will feature: • Head-shaving stations • Hair donation opportunities • Family-friendly activities • Community fundraising • Before-and-after photo opportunities • Special appearances and photo opportunities with Vader’s 501st Stormtrooper Legion
