Hello MMA Families,
Our March 2015 newsletter is now posted! We hope you enjoy it!
We are going to Holmgren Historic Farm on Wednesday & Thursday. Here is a reminder of what to bring…
Holmgren Historic Family Farm is located at 460 N. 300 E. Tremonton, UT 84337. Please make the necessary arrangements to drop your child off at the farm at 9:00am on the morning your child is assigned, and pick up by 2:30 that afternoon.
On the day other students are not scheduled to go to the Farm, we will have teachers here carrying on regular classes. Thank you!
As noted in an email to all the students and parents through SIS we are encouraging students to go witness the historic event in Promontory, Utah on Wednesday March, 11th.
If you plan to attend plan to arrive around 8 am. (see link to map) Ms. Kevi is going directly to the Farm if you need to drop off students as scheduled by 9 am. The test itself starts at 9:30 and lasts two minutes. Come prepared with board games, a ball to toss, or something to keep you occupied until the test is scheduled to begin. Directly after the test Farm students are to make their way to the farm and those not attending the farm will head back to the school for a school excused tardy.
Email Ms. Emily egoddard@mariamontessoriacademy.org with questions or concerns.
Again, this is a opportunity and not a mandatory activity. If it works great, if not head to the farm.

We have a VERY limited number of certified drivers available to help with transportation to the farm. These are drivers that have had a background check and having so graciously taken an on-line course to help keep the students as safe as possible. However, we are not limited to certified drivers. Parents are welcome to coordinate their own carpools and we encourage them to do so in order to support our number of outings.
Wednesdays Carpool sign up (limited)
Thursday’s Carpool sign up (limited)
With this in mind, parents are still responsible for their child’s transportation or need to find transportation to & from the farm for their child. (as noted on the permission slip). Certified drivers spaces fill up very quickly on our We Join In link because they are limited. (please do not sign up if you did not turn in your permission slip)
If you have forgotten what day you are going to attend the farm please see this sheet… Students attending the Farm
If you are planning to drive your child, and don’t mind taking others, please have your child ask friends if they they still need a ride so we can help as many as possible.
If you are interested in becoming a certified driver to help provide a solution to this limitation please contact Ms. Jaime. (jboothe@mariamontessoriacademy.org)
Other ideas:
If you are unable to find a ride, please still come to the school as a regular day. There will be Jr High teachers here and classes will be held. Thank you!
We thought it fair to warn the parents and students that hoodies will be taken after one warning. We believe that students who don’t know when to appropriately wear their hoodie leads to the natural consequences of no longer having the hoodie for the day. We find that we are spending too much instruction time asking students to take them off. Students can pick up their confiscated hoodies from the teacher that took it at the end of the day.
If any parents are interested in joining us on our Jr High visit to the Holmgren Historic Farm please send Ms Jaime an email jboothe@mariamontessoriacademy.org if you are interested.
Some students are attending on Wednesday, March 11 & others are schedule to attend Thursday, March 12. If you are planning to bring your child to the farm on their scheduled day, you can also stay the day with us as a chaperon! Parent chaperons will assist the teacher during the day in certain activities. Students will be split in small groups for many of the activities, so you would help the kids stay with the group & be focused.
Lunch would be provided. We are planning to make Dutch Oven Chili! If you would also like to sign up for any ingredients to donate prior to the farm, please see http://www.wejoinin.com/sheets/zfdas All donated ingredients need to be at the Jr High by March 9th.
Please take a moment to purchase a ticket (or two) to the 5th annual MMA Gala. I can’t stress the importance of this event as it serves a crucial fundraising base for our school. Without the proceeds from this event, our fieldtrips and ability to purchase computers and supplies would look much different. Your commitment to attending this event sends a message of investment and appreciation for all that MAPA does for us during the year.
Friday the 27th we will have our Field Trip to the Leonardo Museum.
The students will participate in the permanent exhibit titled The Hylozoic Veil. This exhibit is a spectacular piece that combines modern technology, biological science, chemistry, and architecture. Students will be led by the Leonardo staff through the exhibit and will learn about how it was created. In addition, students will be free to explore other permanent exhibits at the museum, including those conceived and created by Leonardo DaVinci. Students will learn about simple machinery as well as the history of the Renaissance period.
What to wear & bring:
9:30-9:40 am Students should be dropped off (by parents) at the Leonardo Museum 209 E. 500 S. SLC UT 84111
1:50 p.m. – Parents/Guardians pick students up from The Leonardo Museum
* If you did not get your permission slip in by the due date, you will meet in Ms Fallon’s room for the day. (These students know who they are)
