Mid Month Info

Hear Ye. Hear Ye.
It is hard to believe that February is already half way over. It just seems like yesterday that I was a new face in SC and at the front desk. Now I know all of the children by name, and their parents. I have fallen in love with all of them a thousand times over when the look up at me with those big beautiful eyes (no matter the color). Most of them know my name and I have even earned a wonderful nickname (Ms. Feather) and I totally love it.

With that said, lets move on to the important stuff. First and foremost - thank you to all of the parents who came out and made our Sweetheart Breakfast a huge success. And a huge shout out to Amanda, our amazing Director, for planning and purchasing the beautiful décor and the delightful treats. And we also appreciate all the teachers, and other help who made this morning successful - those who came early and helped set things up and sliced the fruit!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Thank you to all who came and had PTC!! I heard nothing but good reports!! And a huge thank to all of our TEACHERS - who worked hard to share reports of work with the parents. It was indeed a couple days of crazy schedules.

So, as February winds down, remember that we will again have a Primary Parent Meeting 28 Feb., and the topics are going to be Geography, Botany, and Zoology. And, please remember to leave your child with their teachers during the meeting and if you have children that do not attend here, then please find alternate care for them.

March schedules will be made and available soon. Please stop by at the office for your copy.

And most of all - DO NOT Forget that we are in open registration. What does that mean exactly:

This means that registration is now open to the public and registration for classes is on a first come, first serve basis. In order to secure your child’s spot in their classes for the 2017-2018 School Year, you will need to register as soon as possible. This is especially true for our Toddler Programs that fill up the quickest since there are so few spaces available. There is also a registration deadline set for March 13th. Those that register after March 13th, will need to pay an additional $25 fee when registering.  

***Currently registration for Infants-Primary is $100 registration fee and a $25 material fee. For Lower and Upper Elementary, there is a $150 registration fee and a $25 material fee.

And lastly, starting in March I am going to pick a class and do a spotlight on the things that they are doing for the month. This spotlight will include insider details to the in-and-outs of classroom life and the activities within the classroom as well. I will include pictures and many other fun tidbits of things.

February News

Hard to believe that January has come to an end. I took a quick tally and that means I have officially lived in South Carolina for 45 days. Crazy. With that said, thank you for being so patient with me, during my transition here and with MSM.

I have new schedules and menus for February at the main office. Please stop by grab your copies. And they both have been posted on FB.

If you missed the email info, or was still wondering: we had to make the decision to postpone yoga with Get Down Yoga here at MSM. We hope to have it again in the Fall. Please share any interest you have for this program to return to MSM.

Also, as a new month, we have new things happening here at MSM. First and foremost, there is the Sweetheart Breakfast, 10 Feb. in the main building from 7 am - 8:30. Come and have breakfast with your precious ones. Rumor has it, there will be muffins and things of the like.

Remember, the classes are celebrating Valentine's Day. Please bring the amount of valentines for your classroom - just signed and NOT addressed. If you need a classroom count, please call the office and I can tell you the amount of cards needed. Homemade and themed cards are both equally loved and enjoyed. AND, please do not include candies/snacks; as we are a peanut free school!

Secondly, open enrollment begins on the 13 Feb. So, if you are new to MSM, have new additions to your family, or know of anyone looking for a place of great fun and learning, then give us a shout out. As for those who are already a part of MSM, stop by the office anytime and pick up forms and ask any questions you may have.

Impt. dates to know: 17 Feb & 20 Feb are set aside for parent -teacher conferences. Many of the classrooms have sign-up sheets outside their classrooms. Please pick a time to connect to your child's teacher. As those days are full with the conference times, there are NO Montessori classes these days, and full-day care will be provided.

And lastly, there is a Primary Parent Meeting at 5:30 on the 28 February.
