Less than three years ago, The Light Preparatory Academy (TLPA) opened its doors with just three students and a bold vision for what education could be. Today, TLPA is Miami-Dade&#39;s first Montessori STREAM school, serving more than 60 children, ages 1 through 8. Our students scored in the 97th percentile nationally on a nationally normed assessment&mdash;a powerful reflection of what&#39;s possible when innovative learning, high expectations, and a nurturing environment come together. Now, we&#39;re setting the table for what&#39;s next&mdash;and there&#39;s a seat for you.Join us for our 2nd Annual Friendsgiving, a beautiful morning of brunch, soulful music, student performances, inspiring stories, and community giving&mdash;all in celebration of the children and families who make TLPA shine.With 88% of our students receiving scholarships, Friendsgiving is about more than sharing a meal. It&#39;s about expanding access and opportunity. Every ticket purchased and every gift made helps provide scholarships, classroom and Montessori STREAM materials, free STREAM Saturdays programming, and the continued expansion of TLPA. Throughout the morning, you&#39;ll experience the heart of our school through the stories and talents of our students&mdash;from our curious toddlers to our budding elementary problem-solvers&mdash;and see what becomes possible when a community chooses to invest in children.Together, we can set a table where every child has a seat.Your presence and generosity help equip and empower children to realize their God-given potential and grow into the thoughtful, creative, resilient leaders our community needs.
