Welcome from the School Home Association (SHA) 

The Breakthrough Montessori School Home Association (SHA) would like to welcome new and returning families to a new and exciting school year! 

As Breakthrough's version of a Parent-Teacher Association, the SHA is a group of parents, guardians, and staff committed to supporting the Breakthrough pillar of family and community engagement at the school. Every year, the SHA plans events to build connections between home and school, including the Fall Festival, Scholastic Book Fair, and Field Day. Feedback from the SHA informs decisions related to family and community engagement, fundraising, and other areas of the school. The SHA also supports the school's ongoing efforts to provide families with opportunities to learn more about Montessori education and how Montessori philosophy informs the school's decisions.  


The SHA posts announcements, meeting agendas, and other updates on WhatsApp Messenger. WhatsApp is also a great way to connect with other parents in your child's classroom and Breakthrough. Please reach out to president@breakthroughsha.org or your guide for the link to join. Returning families, please note that the SHA will no longer utilize Konstella as a communication tool. Please be sure to download WhatsApp to ensure you are up to date on all of the SHA communications.

SHA news and updates are also available on our website at  https://www.breakthroughsha.org/. 



Your SHA Executive Committee,

Keisha Igbazua, President

Meghan Sullivan, Vice President
