Special to Iredell Free News

Statesville Montessori School is hosting its first annual golf tournament in memory of Judy Sutton, the founder of Statesville Montessori School.

The beginnings of our school came from Sutton’s love of children and her desire to meet Iredell County’s need for a new approach to education. Now, 40 years later, the school’s vision and leadership has continued with a new generation of that same founding family. 

The Judy Sutton Memorial Golf Tournament will be held on Thursday, May 26, at the Statesville Country Club. For more information about our golf tournament, visit https://www.facebook.com/events/713353239656947.

The proceeds from this annual event will be used to support specific school and student needs. This year, the proceeds will be used to help build an outdoor classroom at our main campus.
