“Shop till you drop” will take on a new meaning on Saturday, January 27, when several downtown stores partner with Westabou Montessori to raise money for the school’s scholarship fund. Many of Westabou’s 100 students receive financial aid and participating stores will contribute to the fund.
Here is how it works: Shoppers can participate throughout the day, with a kickoff and live music at 1:00 pm at Humanitree House located at 305 8th St. Between the hours of 1:00 pm and 4:00 pm, shoppers can purchase a reusable shopping bag at Humanitree House that will grant them special coupons to be used throughout the day.
Stores participating in the “Shopping for Scholars” event include the Book Tavern, Knuckle Sandwiches, Earth Pantry, Art on Broad, Augusta & Co., Field Botanicals, and Humanitree.
To bring awareness of a unique educational opportunity for children in the CSRA, Montessori teachers will be providing free lessons at select locations. Visit westaboumontessori.org for more information.
