Night of Nostalgia

 

JO DEE MESSINA
HOSTING “NIGHT OF NOSTALGIA” CASINO NIGHT
SATURDAY, MARCH 3 IN NASHVILLE
EVENT TO RAISE MONEY FOR NON-PROFIT
HOLY TRINITY MONTESSORI SCHOOL


Multi-platinum, award-winning country singer/songwriter JO DEE MESSINA is hosting a “Night Of Nostalgia,” a big band swing and casino night, on Saturday, March 3 at 7pm in Nashville. The event--at the Maxwell House Hotel--will raise money for the non-profit Holy Trinity Montessori School. Tickets are $60 and include open bar, light fare and dancing. Patrons will also be treated to a performance from Cliff Notes and MESSINA herself. To reserve your tickets, visit: http://nostalgia2012.eventbrite.com.
Last year, MESSINA launched the “A MILLION DOORS” campaign to help raise $2.3 million for the non-profit school in Nashville, with all funds going directly to the construction of a new schoolhouse.  Check out www.amilliondoors.com.
The Nashville-based philanthropist is working closely with Holy Trinity Montessori school head Kate Riley to build the 6000 square foot school for students up through third grade, and possibly up to fifth, offering them an affordable, hands-on education.  In the Montessori classroom, children are placed in a three-year multi-age grouping (0-3, 3-6, 6-9, etc.).
The school, founded in 2009, currently has 25 students enrolled, with another 45 on the waiting list.  The new schoolhouse will accommodate up to–-but no more than–-125 children. At Holy Trinity Montessori, the children develop a secure sense of self, independence, deep concentration, pride in their environment and a unique connection to God. The Montessori curriculum offers a comprehensive, developmental early childhood environment with areas focusing on language, mathematics, sensorial, practical life, cultural and religion.
“This isn’t about just a cause I believe in or the latest celebrity charity,” says MESSINA. “I want this campaign to show that even in a time when people feel there is little hope, that there IS hope and dreams still DO come true.  I chose it because we need people from all over to carry us with their support to make this dream come true.”
