Kindie Science: static electricity!

Shout out to our awesome students who go above and beyond every day!
We're so proud of the students who complete their work, step up to help keep our school clean, deliver packages, and jump in whenever they're needed to keep our school neat and tidy. Your responsibility, teamwork and positive attitude does not go unnoticed.
Thank you for taking pride in our school and helping make it a great place to learn and grow.

A huge thank you to Miss Mary and our amazing parents for spoiling our teachers with such a thoughtful and delicious teacher appreciation lunch. Your generosity, time, and support truly made our teachers feel loved and appreciated.

What's for lunch? Each day our amazing kitchen staff prepares fresh fruits and veggies for school lunches!

We’re already hard at work planning our Summer Camp schedule, and we can’t wait to share what’s coming! As always, camps will run weekly, with new and exciting themes each week—there will be plenty of options to choose from.
We’ll be announcing our full Summer Camp lineup before Spring Break, so keep an eye out for an email with sign-up details. Summer fun at DCS Montessori will be here before you know it!

Just before the Thanksgiving Break, it was “Grandparent Reading Week” in Ms. Lindsay’s Primary classroom. Grandparents shared wonderful stories about giving thanks, autumn, and of course turkeys and thanksgiving feasts! The children performed some of their favorite Thanksgiving songs and plenty of smiles and hugs were shared!

Have a Great Thanksgiving Break!
Mr. Jeromy
PS - While Mr. Jeromy doesn't do a formal "Movember" he does wear a mustache in November to remind all our parents to take care of themselves and schedule your annual health check ups and do your cancer screenings. Your children need you around, and nothing is more important than early detection when it comes to fighting cancer.

In the spirit of thankfulness, Mr. Paul's class wrote thank you letters to local military veterans to thank them for their service. One veteran and grandparent came by to show his gratitude for being remembered.
