A Note From Our Principal
Thank you all for helping our school celebrate Earth Day last month. Together students at our school released over 1,000 ladybugs and planted over 100 flowers and veggies. In addition the spring time learning continues in the classroom as lady bug larvae are the new class pets! Celebrating Earth Day as a community provides our teachers with many opportunities to relate science, math and literacy concepts to everyday life. I also wanted to extend a huge thank you to all our young Farmer Market artists and customers who helped our school raise almost $1,200 for our Parent/Teacher organization (BMPTO). 100% of funds raised will go towards enhancing the Montessori experience in our school.
As we move into May, we are getting our classrooms ready for a summer of additional enrichment for our preschool students and summer camp for our school-age students. We can’t wait to spend summer with you and your children and hope you’ll join us at the family activities we have planned this month!
Sincerely, Lila Afoa
