Not-for-Profit Status
On June 1, the Internal Revenue Service wrote to Friends of John William Education Center (FJWEC) stating that the IRS has completed its review of our first five years and found that we are classified as a public charity. We are a 501 (c) (3) organization.
Fund-raising Event October 2
FJWEC planned to raise funds through a sale of paintings by Ghanaian artists. The attempt was not successful; the money from sales merely covered the costs of purchase, framing and transport of the paintings.
Computers at John William Montessori School
FJWEC continues to maintain the web site for John William Montessori School. ($174 for the year)
Conflict resolution training
In October, Albertine Smit gave a workshop on Conflict Resolution at JWMS for the students in grades seven through nine. All of the teaching staff of JWMS also attended the workshop.

In October, Monica Westin gave two workshops on HIV / AIDS Awareness at JWMS. One workshop was for students in grades four through six and the other was for the students in grades seven through nine.
The teaching staff of JWMS and many other people also attended the workshops.
Support for the John William Montessori School Community
The forty-foot container shipped in November of 2004 arrived at the school in January and the contents were divided among the classes. The nursery school children especially enjoy napping on the long cushions formerly used on benches in the Meeting House of Scarsdale Friends (Quakers)
In October FJWEC shipped another forty-foot container full of donations (it arrived at the school in February 2006). FJWEC were helped by a significant donation from The Union that Nothing be Lost.
