"This morning, I had a five dollar bill on
the counter. Charlotte picked it up and announced,
“That’s Abraham Lincoln. He’s also on the penny. He was shot
a long time ago.
He
loved to read books.” I said, “Wow, you learned a lot at school,”
and she said (matter of factly), “That’s the power of school.”
How awesome is that? Thank you for helping her love learning."

"Dear
VMS Staff, It was a privilege to be with you all today to
celebrate Grandparents Day. The discipline & control of
the children with kindness & gentleness was lovely. I can
see why they all make such great progress. Looking forward
to many more!
Thank you all very much, warmest regards

"Hi
Toby, I wanted to let you know how much both my Dad and our
son enjoyed Grandparents day. Our son had been looking forward
to it for weeks and my Dad enjoyed the time with him and learning
more about what a Montessori school is. I know it's a lot
of work for you and the rest of the teachers to have visitors,
but I wanted to pass along my thanks. It was a big hit in
our house."

"Sam is having
a great summer so far - he has learned to swim! I bring this
up because the way he showed such confidence and followed direction
was such a huge change from last summer when he wanted nothing
to do with it and much preferred to just play on the side. I
really feel the Montessori model contributed to the sort of
calm and centered attitude he had toward learning to swim."

"Also
want to let you know that Aidan is thoroughly enjoying school.
Yesterday he told me how you "Demonstation'ed" some
blocks.
:) I love the big words he is learning...it matches the BIG
dinosaur names that he
knows. Thanks for all you and the entire staff do each day to
provide such a
wonderful
environment for the kids.
