Wauwatosa Montessori School
April 18, 2019
Please remember that we do NOT have school tomorrow (Friday, April 19th) or Monday, April 22nd. Students will resume classes on Tuesday, April 23rd.
Speaking of April 23rd, we are happy to welcome Dr. Michael Mazius to Wauwatosa Montessori for the second time this school year. Dr. Mazius presented in early January on the topic of technology and how to co-engage with your child to help them build self-control, balance and good judgement with technology. On Tuesday, April 23rd from 6:30-7:30pm in Room 13, Dr. Mazius will give a presentation on Helping Our Children Develop A Moral Identity: Effective Parenting Practices -Perhaps now, more than ever, we, parents, have an obligation to teach our children how to empathize with others. All children, even very young ones, have the capacity to empathize and show compassion. Whether or not they will, actually may have quite a bit to do with the way in which we rear them. Please join Dr. Michael Mazius, Child Psychologist, for a talk on the ways in which we can raise empathic children and the cultural dynamics we and our kids presently are up against. We hope you can join us!
We regret to inform you that due to low sign up, we are cancelling the Student Showcase on April 26th. We will try to allow the students who signed up to still showcase their talents the last week of school during the school day. Stay tuned for more details! Thank you to all who signed up!

PTSA
We are seeking to fill our PTSA leadership team for 2019-2020. Looking for a President, Event Chairs, Communication Chair, Legislative Chair, and Scholarship Reader for next year. Contact Amy Randall at arandall@uwalumni.com with questions or nominations of individuals who are interested.
Thank you to everyone that donated to and/or attended the Spring Fling. The event was a huge success and we exceeded our Donation Drive. These donations have made it possible for every child in the school to attend a team building event in the fall. We also earned the children Pajama Day, Wacky Hair Day, 15 minutes of extra recess and an ESPN reporter to come to school to answer questions. Thank you again to everyone that made this event a HUGE success!
