Let's Play Ball!: Wed., May 23

Wear red or blue to support your favorite team!

Our annual staff-middle school whiffle ball game is scheduled for Wednesday, May 23 at 1:00 p.m.

All students are invited to wear non-uniform clothing on May 23. Dress in blue if you are rooting for the middle school; dress in red if you are rooting for the staff. Students are also encouraged to bring a water bottle to quench their thirst during the game.

Tuesday, May 29: Final School Mass with Candle Ceremony

Our final Mass of the year provides an opportunity to express special thanksgiving for the gift of our school and school community. At the end of Mass, a "Candle Ceremony" enables all of our students to recognize the upcoming departure of our 8^th grade class. Our graduates pass lit candles to their 7^th grade peers as a sign of the passing of leadership to next year's oldest students.

Preschool 3- and 4-Day Options

If your child will turn three after September 1, 2012, we are offering a 3- or 4-day option for attending our preschool in 2012-13.   The Montessori Pre-Primary environment is well-suited to a child who has not yet turned three, yet has the interest and maturity to explore a broader classroom environment. The young child's absorbent mind is also well-suited to this rich, orderly, appealing learning environment.

 

We are offering limited opportunities for a 3- or 4-day enrollment for younger children. If interested, please contact Dan Teller: dteller@gscmontessori.org.
