Today was our picnic lunch celebrating Montessori Education Week. We had a good turn out and it seemed everyone had a great time. And the weather cooperated...quite a feat for late February. It was a little breezy but otherwise great. The kids were so excited. Every which way we turned this morning was another kid saying, "Is it time for the picnic???"
Community events like these are so important, not only for the children to have fun but also for the parents to feel connected. I know that not everyone could take off from work today to come to a picnic, but it is important that you make an effort to get involved at the school. Events like today's picnic give you ample opportunity to watch your child interact with his peers, get to know other parents, and communicate with the teachers. In fact, there are many good reasons and opportunities for you to get involved in your child's education. Did you know that parental involvement has a strong, positive effect on student achievement?
If you couldn't join us for today's picnic, be on the look out for your next opportunity to get involved at The Montessori School. Your child absolutely loves it when you show interest in their school. Believe us, we hear all about!
