Join us for the Stolen Sterling Stingray Scavenger Hunt and FUNdraiser betweent October 24 - November 1st. As an alternative to Halloween, spend a few hours with your family in the Parks and Greenways of Morrisville hunting for clues and solving puzzles. The entire Sterling community including students, parents, siblings and even our teachers and administrators can pitch in to help save our stingray. Even our youngest students can be involved by helping find the clues and solving the puzzles, with a little help from their family.
We so appreciate all the families who came to campus in mid-October, following all social distancing protocols, to make our campus look beautiful! Apple trees were trimmed, gardens were weeded, flowers were planted and we are all so appreciated! Thank you!

** Due to COVID-19 restrictions, our PFA activities will be limited during the school year. We will need to be creative as a community in continuing to provide support for our teachers, students and community families. We are confident that as a community, we can still support each other! We will continue to update this page with planned functions and ideas**
Following is an example of our usual PFA Annual Events:
Open House & Welcome Events

Giving Tree
During the holiday season, we come together as a community and collect donated gifts to share with families in need.
Garden Days
Held in the fall and spring, our Garden Days give students and their parents an opportunity to learn about our gardening program and the ecology of a healthy garden. We bring in guest speakers from Triangle area organizations and you have the chance to purchase plants for your home garden as well!
Movie Nights
Held in the fall and spring, Movie Nights are an opportunity for the school community to get together outside of school hours and have some fun.
Staff Appreciation Week
Help us say thank you to all of the wonderful Sterling Montessori faculty and staff that help our children grow and thrive at school. We also hold a number of appreciation events throughout the year that we welcome parent volunteers to join in.
Sterling International Festival
Our annual spring festival is the biggest PFA event of the year! With loads of performances, delicious foods from around the world, and fun activities, the Sterling International Festival connects the Sterling Montessori community with the many countries our families come from.
If interested in volunteering for any of these events, please contact our PFA!
Other PFA Initiatives
In addition to our events throughout the year, we help out the school with other enrichment activities including:
Room Parenting
Our individual classrooms are integral to the overall school culture! We know that each classroom is its own, bustling community with its own celebrations and news. Each classroom is represented in the PFA by a Room Parent that ensures communication is free-flowing.
Cultural Events
Throughout the year we help support Sterling’s cultural education with workshops, guest speakers and performances, and classroom activities highlighting cultures from around the world.
“Painless” Fundraising
From AmazonSmile to Box Tops, we help support creative new ways for the school to raise funds throughout the year. To link your Amazon account to the school, go to smile.amazon.com and search for “Laura Holland Uzzell Foundation”.
Spirit Wear
Show off your Sterling Montessori pride with car magnets, t-shirts, and more! Proceeds from Sterling goods go toward funding school activities. Spirit Wear is available for sale at PFA events and an online link is coming soon.
Yearbook
The PFA helps support the student-led creation of the yearbook so that we can capture all the excitement of the school year!
