On Thursday, May 12th MCS will be hosting a Natural Learning Initiative Workshop. The workshop begins at 8:30am which falls smack dab in the middle of morning carpool. Because of the start time we are asking to have carpool from 8:00am-8:15am on Thursday, May 12th to avoid a massive traffic jam.  Thank you for your cooperation and have a great weekend.

Thank you,

Keep America Beautiful Award

Montessori Children's School was awarded the Keep America Beautiful Award on April 28th, 2011 for our commitment and teaching of recycling, composting, and environmental education. Mr. Jason Addams received the award on behalf of MCS at the 28th Annual Robert L. Franck Environmental Awards ceremony. Mr. Addams implemented the recycling and composting programs at MCS and of course is our wonderful Environmental Ed. Director! So, please join us by thanking Mr. Addams for his hard work and dedication.

Thank you,

Spring and Summer Weather has Sprung! 

 The weather is hot and we need to stay hydrated and protected! Please, remember to provide a water bottle and apply sunscreen. It is very important for our children to have a water bottle for outside playtime. This allows students to stay hydrated without having to go inside. Which helps our teachers stay focused on supervision.  Also, its time to start applying sunscreen in the mornings before school. It is very sunny on the playground and we don't want any of our children to get a sunburn. Thank you for your understanding and support.  

Thank you,

The MCS Staff
