Dear Parents,
We have Scholarships available for those interested in becoming a Certified Driver. Help is needed to drive students on class field trips. Having parent drivers allows classes to stretch their field trip funds by avoiding bussing costs. This can allow for more field trip opportunities for the kids.
This is a great volunteer opportunity to help your child’s class by becoming a certified parent driver. This certification is good for 6 years.
For more information please email your name, availability, # of seats in your vehicle & email contact to Ms Emily at EGoddard@mariamontessoriacademy.org
The deadline is Friday Sept. 12th.
Thank you!
Don’t miss our Back to School night on Thursday, September 4th from 6:30-7:30 pm! This is a parent’s only event (no children please).
Jr High parents will meet in the Yurtable.
Permission Slips for The Farm Field Trip are due by this Thursday, Sept. 4th. Each student received a form specific to the date they are scheduled to attend.
On September 11 and 12 – depending on which group your child will be assigned to attend, we will be participating in a field study to the Holmgren Historic Family Farm (460 N. 300 E. Tremonton, UT 84337). Please make the necessary arrangements to drop your child off at the farm at 9am on the morning your child is assigned, and pick up by 2:30 that afternoon.
Throughout our current Cycle we will have been building our community of learners through hands-on activities and team building work. This work occupies the normalization period and is an essential part of the Montessori secondary philosophy. In addition to building a strong community of self-directed learners, the Montessori secondary program acknowledges the adolescent need for meaningful labor and the outdoors. To accomplish these tasks, we will turn our focus to the Holmgren Historic Family Farm. By learning the history of who has resided on the land, investigating the migration patterns of birds, identifying indigenous plant life, we will reach a deeper understanding of our land and fulfill Maria Montessori’s vision of Erdkinder.
Below is a copy of the packing list. Please, if you have any questions or concerns feel free to address them with any of the staff.
Packing List:
Travel:
Our Erdkinder farm is a thirty to fourty minute drive. Please plan for ample time according to your own driving comfort and weather conditions.

Please give them plenty of notice so that all students can enjoy this experience. Melinda Montgomery- (801) 695-6188 – [melmont30@gmail.com] Jeanne Smith – (801) 920-3045

Hello MMAJH Parents,
We are sending home any permission slips that have any missing signatures. They need to be complete for your child to be able to attend Thursday’s field trip. PLEASE ask your student if they have brought something home for you to review. We want everyone involved in this adventure!
Ms. Kevi
Now, Hello MMAJH Students,
You must turn in your permission slips before you go to your first class. Place them in the Student Basket, on Ms. Jaime’s desk. Let’s get ready to play.
Here is a link to help you practice your belaying knot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFffbkXSgNI Please practice this at home. The video show a fisherman’s knot at the end. You do not have to do that knot.
The B-Schedule Students had the opportunity to work on their skills today. All A-Schedule Students will practice this tomorrow. The rope, and I, will be available during lunch tomorrow.
Now, here is a fun link of an amazing climb. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qx–wHJZVAE
See you all tomorrow.
Ms. Kevi
Jr High students were sent home with permission slips for our first Field Trip at The Front Climbing Club. This will take place on Thursday, August 28th.
Permission Slip Forms must be returned as quickly as possible (Prior to 3 days of the trip). We are unable to accept permission slips the day before or the day of the trip. The student will have to stay at the school with another assigned teacher. This will be standard for all field trips throughout the year.
If you need the forms for The Front, you can print them off from the links below. Please make sure every area is signed before it is returned.

Each student will receive an orientation to the facility, learn the terminology and about the gear used by climbers and belayers. They will experience the role of climber and supporter. Students learn to support and encourage one another. Parents will be responsible for transportation to and from The Front Climbing Club. Students will need to be picked up at 2:15pm.
