WAUWATOSA MONTESSORI SCHOOL

Hello Montessori Families!

It's hard to believe it's already spring break and spring is starting to pop up - even in the school gardens! We are working to revamp our gardens this year as well as try to replant the areas of greenery between the sidewalk and parking lot. You'll begin to see new plantings and we are hopeful to get something hardy enough to withstand a decent amount of foot traffic!

When we come back, we will dive right into Forward testing for 3rd through 8th grade students. Please make sure students return rested with a good breakfast for the first two weeks of April!

We hope you have a restful and safe spring break - whether you are traveling or staying around town!

Have a great weekend!

The Wauwatosa School District elementary schools will have an Art exhibit within the children’s area of the Wauwatosa Public Library at 7635 W North Avenue. The show begins Friday, March 27 and runs through Tuesday, April 28th, 2026. This is a district-wide art display that features 1000s of pieces of artwork from students in kindergarten through fifth grade. There is a special opening reception in honor of the artists on Tuesday, April 7, from 5 - 7 P.M. If your child's artwork was chosen, you will receive a letter from Ms. Betz!

Urban Ecology Center Summer will feature summer camps, work opportunities for teens and a variety of family, community and children's activities!

Summer Camp Registration is now open for children ages 4-17. Scholarships are available and may be submitted through the form: https://summercamp.urbanecologycenter.org/scholarships.
