Dear Parents,

Our second and final ski night at Nordic Valley is on February 3rd. The registration will be:

January 22nd, 3:00-4:00
January 27th, 8:15-9:00

The cost is $27 for the package that includes a 2 hour lesson, rental equipment, and a lift ticket that is good until closing that evening. The lesson starts at 4:00, so if you leave MMA right after school for Nordic Valley, your child should be able to get his/her rental, lift ticket, and to the lesson in time. You may choose to purchase a meal ticket for $5 either at registration or when you check your child in at ski school.

We are also selling Gala tickets at the same time. The price is $20 per person. The Gala Committee has spent many hours planning. This year’s Gala is going to include a DJ with dancing, a larger meal, a cash bar, and a bigger venue! Please support our school by getting your tickets and preparing to bid on one or more of the many auction items we’ll have!

We take cash, check, or credit card for both ski registration and for the Gala. We look forward to seeing you and will keep you informed of future ticket sales dates for the Gala.

Thank you for your continued support of our awesome school!

All Jr High Students need to bring their textbooks to school on Friday. We are doing a book check, assessing damages, accounting for each book, and getting ready for the end of the semester. If books are lost or there are any damages to them, there will be a fee that will need to be paid to the front office.

Students who account for their books will be allowed to continue attending Field Trips and other school activities.

Join us on Thursday, January 15th at 7:00 pm for an evening dedicated to a celebration of the arts as put on by our MMA students!  Click on the link below to view our flyer for further information.  We look forward to seeing you there!

MMAjr has inherited a huge tank in which to establish a habitat for a colony of anoles. If you are interested in participating in certifying to become a zoologist, one who will help establish the tank and maintain the colony, please see the study guide below:

Guiding question

You can email Ms. Emily your completed study guide or leave it at the front office for her. We will be gathering as potential zoologists to make decisions about materials needed to establish the tank during the first few weeks of school. If you have questions Ms. Emily at egoddard@mariamontessoriacademy.org

Olivia Harlow is the head Zoologist. We would like to thank her for writing the study guide. Well done!
