We are very grateful for the amazing foundation both of our children have gotten at CMS; Our daughter is truly a world citizen in her actions and intentions, and our son surprises us often with his sense of responsibility and care for the people and world around him.

Physical Education In today’s world, where children are increasingly leading sedentary lifestyles, the integration of movement and sports is more important than ever. While movement is naturally embedded in Montessori education there is a growing need for a structured and comprehensive approach to physical activity. Krystalyn Perry is our Redbud Community Assistant and P.E. coach at CMS! Krystalyn has completed the Montessori Sports Fundamentals Course, an AMI-accredited training program designed to deepen understanding of how sports and movement align with Montessori education. A key part of P.E. is learning and practicing good sportsmanship. It teaches students to respect one another and to work together, recognizing that everyone has an important role in the group. Just as important is developing emotional control in situations that call for empathy, reasoning, and collaboration. Sportsmanship builds character, strengthens relationships across all skill levels, and fosters resilience that extends beyond the sports field into academics, work, and life. It also teaches fairness, integrity, and how to handle both wins and losses with grace, encouraging a healthy outlook on competition and challenges. P.E. for CMS elementary students kicked off last week with team building activities and Krystalyn has plans for soccer, kickball, fitness circuits, basketball, volleyball, archery, and more this school year!
The Rotary Club of Georgetown is a service organization of professionals and leaders dedicated to humanitarian work, high ethical standards, and promoting goodwill and peace. One of their current initiatives is creating Peace Gardens in local schools. These beautiful spaces invite children to reflect and resolve conflicts peacefully. We are excited to share that CMS is on the list to receive a Peace Garden this school year! This is a wonderful opportunity to live out Maria Montessori’s vision of Education for Peace on our campus. Our elementary students have been invited to help design the garden, and once it is built, we will celebrate its dedication with our entire school community. Stay tuned for updates!
Getting Our Hands Dirty A Montessori environment isn’t complete without a beautiful garden! Across our campus, learning extends beyond the classroom as children dig in the soil, care for plants, and experience the joy of seeing their work blossom. This week, many classrooms have been busy cleaning and pruning garden beds, refreshing the soil, and planting for the fall and winter seasons. Guides are preparing lessons that deepen children’s connection with nature, and classrooms are sharing sign-up sheets seeking volunteers. Maintaining our beautiful 18-acre campus is truly a labor of love, but we can’t do it alone! If you have a green thumb, or simply enjoy spending time outdoors, we’d love your help. Please consider sharing your time, knowledge, or resources to support your child’s class garden.
