October Newsletter

A Note from Our Principal
As October begins, I’d like to take a moment to appreciate the season’s transition and the exciting opportunities it brings for our students. Autumn provides an ideal setting for learning, with so many changes occurring outdoors and the chance to incorporate new, natural elements into our artwork and learning centers. This month, we have a range of exciting events lined up such as Primary’s costume parade, Elementary’s Wax Museum, pumpkin decorating, Montessori Farmstead night, and kiss the pig! As always, thank you for entrusting us with your child’s education. We’re eager for a season of growth, discovery, and fun.
Sincerely,
Megan Thomas

Jumpstart’s Read for the Record
We are excited to again participate in Jumpstart’s Read for the Record – the world’s largest shared reading experience that celebrates and supports children’s early language and social-emotional development. Students will participate in activities throughout the week of October 21 inspired by the book, Piper Chen Sings, by Phillipa Soo and Maris Pasquale Doran. It is an inspiring story celebrating self-expression, family bonds, and conquering doubts. Keep an eye out for more details!

Family Referral Bonus & Open House
Do you know a colleague who has recently had a baby, a friend in need of care who just relocated to the area, or a family member who is seeking a new preschool for their child? Invite them to our Open House event on October 26. When you refer a friend and they enroll, you’re eligible for a free week of tuition. Ask us for details!

Fall Cubby Refresh
The days will soon be getting crisp! Please supply an extra set of weather-appropriate clothes for your child and a jacket for chilly days. Please be sure to label all clothing items!

Alma
Do you have a different email address or phone number? Need to add or remove an emergency contact? You can do this at any time in Alma. You can also make payments and access statements through the Alma parent portal. If you need help logging in or accessing the system, please let us know.

Special Upcoming Visits from our Sister Preschool!
Elementary will be participating in Book Buddies with our Meridian campus beginning this month! A group of Elementary students will bus over to our Meridian location to read with their primary classes. We will do this monthly moving forward! We can’t wait to build relationships within our Montessori Academy family.

New on Our Preschool Blog
Montessori preschool and toddler programs emphasize helping children become independent far more than traditional education approaches. Why is that? Learn more about the importance of independence in the Montessori curriculum in this month’s blog post.
