MMA Montessori Moments
May 6th, 2019
Thank you!
Today we said goodbye to the 9th graders attending the Crow Canyon week-long trip to Colorado this morning and will say farewell to the 6th graders leaving on a train for the week-long Redwoods in California at 11pm tonight. We are thankful for the dedicated teachers and parents who make these trips possible by chaperoning.
It always feels like the end of the school year comes crashing down. Please mark your calendars for all of our end of year festivities. Thank you for all that you do to support MMA and have a beautiful week!

Upcoming Bridging Ceremonies
Bridging ceremonies are very important in Montessori education. These graduation-type events celebrate the child moving from one plane of development to the next and from one class-family to the next. Please join us in honoring our kindergarten, 3rd, and 6th grade students.

All kindergarten families are invited to see their child welcomed into lower elementary.
Tuesday, May 21st - Lower Elementary Bridging - 10:30am - Addition Gym
All 3rd grade families are invited to see their child welcomed into upper elementary.

MAPA Information
Thank you to everyone who attended our general meeting last Thursday. It was wonderful to recognize our MAPA officers, committee chairs, and those families who earned their 40 volunteer hours on Track it Forward. Don't worry; families are still putting in hours and those who achieve the requested 40 will be recognized by the end of the school year.
We also confirmed Natalie Taylor Monsen as next year's President and voted in Shauna Guthrie as treasurer. There are still spots open to serve as Vice President and Secretary for the 2019-20 school year. If the board isn’t where you see yourself next year we also have chair positions open. Please contact MAPA (mapa@mariamontessoriacademy.org) if you are interested.
