(FOD) is a 501 (c)(3) parent-run organization whose sole mission is to raise money to support Drummond Montessori School. We are dedicated to raising funds that directly support the school, its students, teachers, and community.
What your Support Does
In just a few months, your generosity has helped transform Drummond: safer spaces, new athletic equipment, cleaner drinking water, a vibrant courtyard, and meaningful support for teachers and families, with new flooring, fresh paint, and Ms. Kathleen’s memorial plaque on the way.
This is what we make possible together.
Give today to keep the momentum growing.

Flannels & Hammers
Have you ever finished an IKEA dresser, had half a dozen screws left over, noticed the slight lean, and decided that’s fine? Have you looked at Rebuilding Exchange’s woodworking classes, said “I could do that,” and known full well you will never, in fact, do that? Or maybe you just enjoy flannels and beers?
Well, DADS, we have a stump for you.
Hammerschlagen is the time-honored tradition of grown men taking turns trying to drive a nail into a tree stump with the wrong end of a hammer. There's competition! And tools! And flannel! It's like shopping at Menards, but someone wins.
Come for the drinks, snacks and friendly competition, stay to watch at least one dad take this very seriously. As always, every dollar goes back to Drummond, so swinging a hammer near an open beer is technically “for the children" (we checked with no one on this).
Wear flannel. Practice your follow-through. See you at Dan's (Lumber)Yard.
TJ's and PJ's Party
Cozy pajamas. Trader Joe’s favorites. Zero kids.
Picture this: it’s 2 degrees outside in mid-January. You’ve survived two full weeks with your extended family (and at least one conversation you’ll be unpacking 'til 2028), and you NEED to get out of the house. But not OUT out. It’s cold, it’s possibly very snowy, and the only footwear option is winter boots. Where’s the fun in that?
What you really want is to hang out with (20 of) your best girlfriends in your coziest pajamas, with great snacks and zero kids in sight. Well, guess what! Courtney Boris and Lauren Martin are here to make your winter dreams come true.
Wear your comfiest set (the matching ones from Christmas? The flannels with the mystery stain? Your unicorn onesie from 2020? This is not the place for judgment!) and leave the snacks to Courtney and Lauren. They're stocking a whole table full of your Trader Joe's favs. Of course, if there’s one you’d battle it out in the TJ’s parking lot for (YES, that one), bring it along.
TJ takis? Almond butter almonds? The Jingle Jangle and Peppermint Cremes you’ve been hiding from your kids since December? We see you, we respect it, and we’ll definitely eat it.

Our Mission
Friends of Drummond (FOD) exists to raise money that directly supports Drummond Montessori and our students.
Our mission is to develop new and sustainable ways to raise funds for the school—bringing together families, teachers, local businesses, and our broader community to help make that possible.
The funds we raise support the people, programs, resources, and experiences that enrich our students’ education and make Drummond such a special place to learn and grow.
