WAUWATOSA MONTESSORI SCHOOL

Dear Wauwatosa Montessori School Family:

Thank you to all of our amazing families for filling our week with so much love and care! A special shout out to Rocket Baby for donating bakery and coffee, families for flowers and notes, Good Land Physical Therapy for chair massages donated by Lauren Hogan, Spa gift bags donated by Avada and PTSA for everything else: Goody bags, Chipotle, Ice Cream treats, and all the other amazing things they do for the staff and our school.

Please join us on Monday, May 13th from 1:30-3 p.m. for our Wauwatosa Montessori School Student Music and Art Festival! Please join us for our Band, Orchestra and Choir Concert on Tuesday, May 14th from 2-3 p.m. in our gym!

Music and Art Festival

Ms. Brennan and Ms. Ionina are preparing for our Wauwatosa Montessori School Student Music and Art Festival coming up on Monday, May 13th! Please mark your calendars for 1:30-3:00pm. The event will start out with a concert in the gym at 1:30 which should run until about 2:30pm. Then students will have portfolios of art in their regular classrooms (they are preparing them in art class). The students will be dismissed to classrooms to be ready to show their art portfolios. After the concert, families are invited to walk through and see their child's portfolio before heading out for the day. Students will be dismissed from their classrooms. Students not dismissed from the classroom will be dismissed to the awning for pick up at 3:20pm. We are excited about this opportunity to showcase the students' art and music exploration this school year!

Thank you in advance.

My name is Jen Jacobs, mom to Olivia in 5K and Preston in 5th. I also am the co-editor of the Oak Tree Oracle, our student-led newsletter. Hopefully you all have been enjoying the “news” from the classrooms! Up until now, the newsletter has been run completely by students in Mrs. Namboothiry’s upper elementary class but I am so excited to be adding student reporters from Ms. Emily’s class as well! They will have a special section featuring student achievements outside the classroom. For example, do you have a child that sings? Plays the drums? Is a karate black belt? Dancer? Theater performer? We want to hear about it and celebrate them! If you and your child are okay with them being featured in the newsletter, please email the Oak Tree Oracle with the student and a picture if available of them doing it is what they do so our student reporters can interview them. And if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me as well.

Email photos and blurbs to both Preston and Ms. Pallin:

By sending an email with a photo you are also giving permission for the photo to be shared.

If you are able to help with classroom "wishes", please do so. Maybe ask employers to donate as well?
