We are happy to share that we have a location! 17019 SE 128th St (in unincorporated King County) is going to be the future permanent home of Blossoming Hill Montessori School! It certainly has been a lot of work securing this perfect place and there is still a ways to go (especially with King County) but we know this location is right and we are grateful to Richard for selling it to us!
Speaking of the County, our next step with them requires a meeting where we will present our site plans, including blueprints for our modular building (two classrooms) and our septic system. Designs for both are currently underway and we are hoping to firm design plans with the modular company soon. (We visited some model units today and got a greater idea of what Blossoming Hill needs and wants; we also saw what was available). We appreciated both Steves and their time on a Saturday. Septic plans are being drawn up by a dude named Mark. He is familiar with the property and was a recommendation from the former property owner. He understands our needs and our urgency; we feel we are in good hands.
Our ENROLLMENT continues to grow, and this is a testament to the support of many of you. Thank you for sharing your belief in us with others. Currently “Word of Mouth” is our strongest marketing tool, and probably always will be. Keep up the good work, and we PROMISE to do the same!
We have really enjoyed making personal connections with several interested families. We have been busy answering questions, sharing our vision, and interviewing new students. Blossoming Hill’s growing community is coming to fruition and we are so tickled! As our enrollment continues to expand we are excited to look at our staffing possibilities. The local Montessori Community is becoming aware of BHM and we are receiving inquiries about our vision, which certainly makes us both very proud. J
For those of you that are following our blog, we have some news!! We now have an OFFICIAL WEBSITE, (www.blossominghill.org). Andrew, we are so grateful for what you have built for us. Thank you! As we continue to create our site, more will be coming, but we like the cool feature that allows our home page to act as a journal for ongoing blog posts. We will continue to post updates on our website, Wordpress blog and Facebook to keep everyone in the loop about our ongoing progress. Here are the links for our communications.
