2026 Gala
Spring Gala Postponed to Fall
As you’ve all seen by now, Adeline is moving into our Forever Home! This is such an exciting next step for our community, and we want to celebrate it as such. We’re moving our spring gala to the fall to celebrate the opening of our new location and welcome all families to our new home. Stay tuned for more information over the summer!
Donations we have received will be retained and used at the fall event.
Sunday, April 26, 2026
11:00 am – 1:00 pm
Oconomowoc Community Center
We are thrilled to announce that Adeline Montessori will be hosting its first annual Kentucky Derby Family Brunch on April 26, 2026. This festive, family-friendly event will feature a brunch buffet, drink packages, a silent auction, a wine pull, raffles, fun activities, and community spirit.
This special celebration will also serve a greater purpose: raising funds to help Adeline Montessori secure a permanent home where our students can learn, grow, and thrive for generations to come. A permanent home for our school will allow us to expand our classrooms, continue supporting families who seek a nurturing, inclusive Montessori education, and maintain the funding that helps us meet the diverse needs of every learner.
Join us Sunday, April 26, 2026, 11:00 am – 1:00 pm, at the Oconomowoc Community Center, for:
- Brunch Buffet
- Drink Packages
- Wine Pull
- Silent Auction
- Raffle Prizes
- Community Cheer!

About Adeline Montessori
Adeline Montessori is an inclusive, child-centered Montessori school dedicated to fostering independence, curiosity, and compassion in every student. We believe that all children deserve an environment where they are respected as individuals and encouraged to reach their fullest potential.
Our community welcomes families from all backgrounds, and our educators are committed to guiding each child’s academic, emotional, and social growth through hands-on, purposeful learning.
At Adeline, children learn how to think, not what to think – developing the confidence, creativity, and empathy that will carry them throughout their lives.
