Wrapping up the Holidays

Benefiting Others

MISHAWAKA — The Montessori Academy at Edison Lakes recently held its seventh annual Wrapping Up for the Holidays.

The school wrapped presents and packed boxes of food for three families (11 children and three adults) that the Montessori adopted through Salvation Army. Each family’s pantry was stocked with enough food for the duration of Christmas break. Each child received hat and gloves, an outfit and socks, and three presents to open.

Dad's Night 2011

Dad's Night

Tuesday the 25th, the Early Childhood Classrooms host the 2nd annual Dad's Night.  This is a night for the children to bring a dad, grandpa, uncle or other special man in their life to their Montessori classroom.  This is a night for it to be all about the two of you spending time together.  The children are so proud of what they do at school, yet oftentimes have difficultly relaying it to you.  At my own dinner table my  husband, father of a four-year-old & a two-year-old, often looks to me for interpretation when the girls talk about their day.  Luckily, I have an inside scoop.

We hope to see you there:  Tuesday, October 25  6:30-8:00p.m.

Early Childhood Breakfast

We welcome all Early Childhood parents to enjoy a light breakfast with their child at school,

Thursday October 13 7:30-9:00a.m. 

School breakfast opportunities are offered a couple times each year for parents to have the opportunity to spend a little bit of time with their child in school, the child sharing their work with their parent.

We hope you are able to attend, even for a few minutes on your way to work.  We realize some families have the opportunity to stay a few minutes and others are able to stay enjoy the classroom longer. Please respect the time frame so that the children are able to go about their day successfully.  If your child seems to have a difficult time saying goodbye when it is time that you need to leave; please say "goodbye", give a hug and remind your child that you will return when the school day is done.  The teachers and assistants are fantastic at transition periods.  Please be assured that they will assist & redirect the children to begin their work time.
