CMPG (Cowles Montessori Parent Group)
Be informed – Be involved
Cowles Montessori Parent Group (CMPG)
CMPG is our Parent Teacher Association (PTA). CMPG is a non-profit organization with the main purpose of supporting teachers, students, and staff through fundraising and volunteering. CMPG raise funds to purchase classroom materials specific to Montessori education, additional training for our teachers, beautification of our grounds and fun family activities. Every parent of a Cowles Montessori student is already a member. No dues are required, and it is a great way to learn about issues important for high-quality Montessori education in the Des Moines Public Schools. Monthly meetings are held at 6:00 p.m. on the second Monday of each Month beginning in September.
