§ Perseverance §
One thing students are learning in physics this year is to persevere. In physics, it is very common to be confused or not completely understand ideas the first time around. However, the class is structured so that after three or four weeks there is a period of extension and review. Students are using that time well to go back and look again at things that may have been difficult for them the first time. That second try usually makes all the difference! Congratulations, juniors and seniors, for your perseverance and your success.

Our school is sustained by donations to our scholarship fund. Over one-third of our students are on financial aid. This year we have depleted our fund. With tuition going up for next year, we need to be prepared to support all families at the levels they need in order to continue to attend our school.
Your donations to our scholarship fund allow us to retain quality teachers, as well as to buy books and supplies. Monteverde Friends School is grateful to our broad base of donors who enable us to provide a high quality education to all eligible students regardless of their ability to pay.
If you are in need of a U.S. tax deduction, you can make a donation to Monteverde Friends U.S., and send it to:
