Dear Spokane Public Montessori Families,
I feel like Spokane Public Montessori is that place at the end of the rainbow. You know... where the pot of gold shines! We are feeling lucky because our Public Montessori model is supported by Spokane Public Schools and wonderful families who believe in Montessori access for all. We are busy welcoming new families and working out student placements and planning for next year.
As a Public Montessori Options school in SPS, it is an expectation to have high parent involvement. It takes more effort to build a community when we are not all attending our neighborhood school. The unity that we build has a DIRECT positive impact on your student’s success.
We have several committees available for you to contribute to our beautiful environments; how else do you think we keep all the classroom animals alive and well? Our classrooms need lots of parent volunteers, so please email your child’s teacher with available support you may provide.
I’ll leave you with this quote as we are near springtime and many students are leaning into their learning and preparing for the transition into next year:
“The child who has never learned to work by himself, to set goals for his own acts, or to be the master of his own force of will is recognizable in the adult who lets others guide his will and feels a constant need for approval of others.” — Education and Peace “… in every child is the seed that will mature into an adult.”
