Exciting News: A Feathered Addition to Our School!

March 21, 2024

Look Who's Back!

Dear Parents,


We are thrilled to share some egg-citing news with you! Thanks to the incredible generosity of a kind-hearted donor, our school has welcomed four lovely egg-laying chickens to our campus. But that's not all – this thoughtful donor went above and beyond by not only providing the chickens but also spearheading the effort to create a spacious and safe chicken coop nestled in the hill.


This generous gesture not only adds a charming touch to our school but also creates a wonderful opportunity for educational enrichment. Our children will have the chance to learn firsthand about responsible animal care, the life cycle of chickens, and the importance of sustainability.


With the Montessori philosophy at the heart of our approach to education, this new addition aligns perfectly with our belief in hands-on, experiential learning. The chicken coop becomes a living classroom where children can engage with nature, observe natural processes, and develop empathy and responsibility towards other living beings.


We extend our deepest gratitude to our donor for their remarkable generosity and foresight. Their contribution not only enriches the educational experience of our students but also reinforces the sense of community that makes our school so special.


As we embark on this feathered adventure together, we are excited to involve our entire school community in the process. We invite you to share your ideas for naming our new feathered friends! Please feel free to submit HERE your suggestions, and let's see what creative names our school community can come up with.

Writing comes before reading in Montessori. With the Moveable Alphabet, children build words, explore sounds, and *discover* reading naturally.

Music, Meaning, and Hands-On Fun As the mornings grow colder and the days shorter, the light of Chanukah reminds us of the miracles, big and small, that brighten our lives. This week, our school came alive with that light as we welcomed grandparents, parents, and special guests to celebrate together. It was a beautiful reminder of the connections that bind us as a community.
