Exciting Annual Events at MCS!
 

International Night

Every September we gather to celebrate cultures around the world with costumes, songs, and special dishes to share.

 

Thanksgiving Feast

As long as the moon rises,

As long as the grass grows green,

As long as the rivers flow.

We shall be friends.

We shall live in peace.”

              

Before the Thanksgiving holiday we have festivals, plays, games and songs.  We invite our families to join us and participate in these celebrations.  It is our way of re-enacting the friendship that existed on that first Thanksgiving. 

 

Holiday Songfest

Each December, our students raise their voices in song to celebrate different cultures and histories. 

 

Wine & Cheese Open House

Each March the Board of Directors, PTO and Montessori Directresses host an evening for existing and new families to visit classroom and learn more about the Montessori method.  Community leaders are also invited to join us on this evening to learn more about our thriving school. 

 

Classroom Open Houses

Scheduled annually by each class, these open houses give the parents an opportunity to learn more about Montessori techniques and principles of learning.

 

End of Year Picnic

Hosted by the PTO this picnic gives the Montessori families and faculty an opportunity to celebrate the accomplishments made throughout the year.

We encourage parent involvement in all school activities!
