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.

TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK It's Teacher Appreciation Week at CMS and our Class Ambassadors have organized so many special treats for our staff. What a lovely way to show our staff how much we appreciate and value their work at school! The Guide in Montessori education is a unique position and we are so fortunate to have MANY talented individuals in this role at CMS. Add to that all the amazing individuals on campus who are supporting and assisting in their work with students. It truly does take a village and we are grateful everyday for our CMS village!

Yes, we've seen the rain chance in the forecast but this is our last chance to host this annual celebration and we don't want to miss it. If showers seem likely, we have pop-up tents on hand and we plan to utilize our covered walkways as much as possible. Fry's Family Farm will have a variety of small animals to interact with and hopefully tractor rides in the field. We'll have some music from Marshal and also from students in Upper Elementary, as well as fun sale items from the adolescent class. Hope to see you Friday at 3:15 in the CMS Courtyard!
