I wanted to share with you how much I enjoyed visiting with each of you at conferences last week.  My heart was so full as I drove home after the conclusion of conferences.  I enjoy celebrating their growth and achievements and feeling the love you have for each of your children.  Thank you for allowing me to be apart of their growth.  I also wanted to thank you for all thoughtful Valentines and book fair donations, you sure made us feel appreciated.

Thursday morning at 9:00 a.m. we will be having a group picture taken of our class.  This picture is for the yearbook and is not a professional picture for purchase.  Our hope is to have everyone at school for the picture.

A small flyer for the Maria Montessori Academy Open House was recently sent home.  This is a great opportunity to share with others more about our school and philosophy.  Please feel free to invite family, friends, and neighbors.

There will be two open house events, the first is for the jr. high and the other for elementary and early childhood. The Jr. High Parent & Student Night will be next Tuesday, January 12, from 7-8.  If you have a student who is in the sixth grade or just want to know more about the program, please come.  The Parent Information Night for Early Childhood and 1st-6th will be the following Tuesday, January 19, from 7-8.

Reminder that open enrollment for next year is now open.

Friday is professional development for teachers and Monday is Martin Luther King Day, enjoy the long weekend.
