COLD WEATHER ALERT!

There is a Cold Weather Advisory for our Georgetown area starting tonight and going thru Thursday. The lows the next couple of nights will be well below freezing - which means the morning will be very cold too. Please be sure you send adequate cold weather gear for your child!

I have not heard any information about ice or precipitation being part of this weather alert - just very very cold temperatures so school will be on as usual. If anything changes, of course you'll receive a text message & email from us.
Stay warm!

The Spirit of Giving Continues!

Students in the Redbud Upper Elementary Community have been collecting and organizing donations to Helping Hands of Georgetown. They amassed quite a haul to deliver. We are so proud of their efforts to give back to their community. Good jobs kids!

Our Parent Book Club is back with a new recommended read!  The Self-Driven Child by William Stixrud and Ned Johnson. This book comes highly recommended by Kathy Minardi, a longtime leader in the AMI Montessori community, who has personally worked with the authors who are psychologists in the D.C. area. 

As we did for the Anxious Generation, we will talk about the book in 2 parts:

• March 6th - Part One covers Chapters 1 to 7
• March 13th - Part Two will cover Chapters 8 to 14

We will meet right after morning drop off this time. Please RSVP and plan to join us in the Clubhouse from 8:30 to 9:30am. If you can only make one of the times, still come! And if you prefer podcasts, here's a LINK to the author's page for that. Looking forward to seeing you all there!
