Coming soon— musical styling from our talented families, alumni, and friends!

Thanks to Andrew Mazzone (Tessa’s dad, MG) and the amazing facilities at the recording studio HI-N-DRY at the Armory Building in Somerville, we have been recording a CD of children’s music!  It has been another fantastic community project, and incidentally some wonderful music has been written and recorded.  (Kids from Agassiz are needed for several tracks, so let Tracey or Andrew know if you think your child is musical and/or gregarious!)

Andrew conceived the idea as a tie-in fundraiser associated with the annual Agassiz Concert, which will take place ...

The Agassiz Preschool invites you to our annual yard sale/bake sale!

The Yard Sale is a fun event that is a great community service and an opportunity to recycle those wonderful, gently used, things. Lots of great Clothes, Toys, Books, Shoes and House-wares, donated from over 40 families.

Cookies, cake and balloons too!

Proceeds go to the Agassiz Scholarship Fund

There’s nothing better than showing up to school in your pajamas, so be sure to wear them this Friday for Pajama Pizza day!  Where does the pizza come in to this mix? The kids will be making it for their snack – Ann has a gluten-free recipe that she and the kids will mix up.

Be sure to still pack their lunch though, the pizza is just for snack time.  Can’t wait to see all those cute jammies!

A giant thank you to all of you who worked the workday on the weekend. It was so fabulous to be at the new school & see the camaraderie, good energy & hard work. The building is looking stunning & it’s so fun to see how you all are putting in your mark. It really is a community effort & your hard work & time sacrifice is paying off big time! And our amazing organizers have gone beyond all expectations! It is so exciting & we are extremely grateful.

From all our kiddies to you, the Agassiz Preschool wishes you a very happy Valentines day!

For those parents who can join us, our Valentines day potluck breakfast is this Friday the 12th.  Come be a kid again for an hour, make valentines day cards and play to your heart’s content…

We welcome all prospective families to our Agassiz Preschool open house! There you and your child will get to meet our teachers and staff while you explore our school. We’ll chat about what a co-op is like, what happens during a school day, and our philosophy of teaching. You’ll meet our parents and their kids to get first hand knowledge of their experiences at our school.

We’d love to meet your child too! There will be plenty of art projects and games for your little one to play while we chat.

No reservations are necessary, just ...

Everyone, thank you so much for your enthusiastic participation in this year’s tree sale – the set up, the sales, the take down…you all did amazing work.

Our profit was over $12,000 this year.  As you know this money is a major part of our scholarship fund, and will really help out so much with a young child’s education. Moreover, this was the first year in all of our 25 years of the tree sale that we sold out, not to mention sold out ahead of schedule!  You must all be some savvy salespeople, to be sure.

Again, ...
