December 20th Update 

Dear Families, 

As we approach the holiday season, we want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to each of you for your ongoing partnership and support during this first portion of the school year. Together, we’ve nurtured a community where students continue to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally, guided by the Montessori principles we hold dear. 

Maria Montessori once said, “The greatest sign of success for a teacher... is to be able to say, ‘The children are now working as if I did not exist.’” This quote reminds us that the work we do—whether as educators or parents—is about empowering children to become confident, independent, and joyful learners. Your dedication to this shared mission is what makes our school so special. 

As the winter break begins, we wish you all a season filled with warmth, connection, and moments of reflection. Whether you are traveling or staying close to home, we hope you create wonderful memories with your loved ones. 

We look forward to welcoming everyone back when classes resume on Monday, January 6, 2025. Until then, may your holidays be peaceful, safe, and bright! 

With gratitude and warmest wishes, 
Jennifer Rooke and Carmelle Watson 

Principal and Assistant Principal
