We would like to invite you to stop by the school on Thursday, December 15 after 8:45AM for an informal coffee hour with Ginny, our Head of School. We’ll have conversations about Montessori, your child’s classroom and how it all ties together. So stop by for a few minutes and bring your questions! This will be an ongoing meet up, so if you can’t make it on the 15th we hope you can join us next time.
During the month of November, a group of Lower Elementary students in the after school program worked on a mural project titled, “Constructing Community.” The students worked collaboratively as artists, designers, architects and city planners. Together they createad a cut paper cityscape inspired by their own communities.
The mural is featured in the school entry hall. The next time you are in the building, be sure to check it out, along with many of the other great art projects students have created around the halls!

We are pleased to announce that Outpost Natural Foods has generously awarded Downtown Montessori Academy a grant to provide all full-day students with a FREE, nutritious, organic lunch with locally-sourced organic milk on a monthly basis throughout the school year.
Downtown Montessori Academy is very grateful for this opportunity, as this will expand the number of students who can participate in the Outpost Lunch Program. The grant will fund seven lunches throughout the school year.
The presentation of the grant will take place during the first Outpost Lunch on Thursday November 3rd. The menu will feature chicken à la king over brown rice, berry yam bake, half an apple, pumpkin bread, and a cool glass of locally-sourced organic milk.
Because of the increased number of students we’ll be serving, we are in need of parents to volunteer! Please contact Jessica Rodriguez as soon as possible if you can help out at the November 3rd lunch.
We thank Outpost Natural Foods for their generosity, and encourage all students to take advantage of this free Outpost Lunch!
To create a Montessori environment where your child's early experiences with learning will help him or her to become a self-confident, competent, cooperative adult. The competence the child attains is directly related to their engagement in the meaningful work of the Montessori classroom. We seek to provide a family-centered environment that enriches and nurtures the growth of the family and the child.
