"Montessori Mafia"

It may seem like a laughable "only in New York" story that Manhattan mother, Nicole Imprescia, is suing her 4-year-old daughter's untraditional private preschool for failing to prepare her for a private school admissions exam.  But her daughter's future and ours might be much brighter with a little less conditioning to perform well on tests and more encouragement to discover as they teach in Montessori schools.

Tutoring by
Ms. Zahra
 Summer is around the corner and your child will be missing 2 1/2 months of learing.  I am interested in tutoring your child in math or science to prepare them for the next school year.  I have been teaching in the Jr.II classroom for the last 4 years and I have an Engineering degree.  Math and science are my strong suits.  I am confident that I can help your child in these subjects.  Please contact me if you would like to hear more about what I can offer your K-12 child.  I can meet either at your house or mine.  Please call with any questions or to set up an appointment.

Thank You,

Ms. Zahra

Dear SFMS Families,

 

We hope you are enjoying the beautiful weather.  Thanks to Brenda Hand's Brownie sales, the school has just purchased 3 more air conditioner units to be placed in Rooms 1, 4, and 5 by next week.  Rooms 2 and 3 have units purchased last year.  

 

The teachers and staff had a wonderful week during Teacher Appreciation Week.  We want to say Thank you to all the parents and the Parents' Association for the flowers, cards, massages and luncheon.  The teachers and staff of SFMS are very appreciative.  At one point, almost the entire staff of SFMS were sitting at the luncheon together, enjoying each other's company.  

 

Thank you,  

 

SFMS Staff
