WAUWATOSA MONTESSORI SCHOOL

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Hello Montessori Families!

I had the pleasure of dining with the top PTSA fundraisers and their buddies this week! We enjoyed pancakes and conversation! Thanks again to the PTSA for putting on the newly designed fundraising and to all who contributed! We have a wonderful school community!

As June approaches, we are gearing up for the last two weeks of school! Students have been working hard on final projects and daily work. This time of year brings mixed feelings - happiness for summer and a break from school and sadness at change and less time with school friends. If you're looking for any additional resources for the summer, please reach out to Ms. Libby!

Have a great weekend!

Girls on the Run

Girls on the Run wrapped up another wonderful season this week with our final practice! As part of our Community Impact Project, the girls brainstormed ideas, voted on their favorite, and chose to partner with Lutheran Home’s Memory Care facility. Together, they spent a beautiful afternoon planting flowers with residents to create colorful gardens that can be enjoyed all summer long. It was truly a magical experience, and we are incredibly grateful to the parents and Fruit of the Bloom for generously donating the flowers.

This Sunday, our team will participate in the Girls on the Run Celebratory 5K at American Family Field. Everyone is welcome to come cheer on the runners or join in the fun!

Girls on the Run will return this fall. Incoming 3rd–5th graders should watch for registration information in August. If you have any questions, please contact Erin Hochevar at erinpeschel@gmail.com.
