Montessori Magnet School

Just as good as under the big top!

Fourth graders worked all week with Circus Theatricks, a program that introduces kids to the athleticism and artistry of the circus.

They then wowed the school with a performance that included juggling, tumbling, partner acrobatics, magic and the secrets and skills of a circus clown!

Bravo!

Great job with your interview, Laurel!

(and don't those grade-level tees look awesome??)

Thanks to all who made Friday's annual Walk-n-Ride such a success!

It is always so wonderful to gather as a community, commit to a healthy lifestyle and help the earth - the perfect way to start our day and end the week.

Guilty on all counts!

After seven months of research, practice and legal study, a jury of his peers (literally) found our fifth-grade defendant responsible for a purse theft.

Our Legal Lives partnership with the Albany County District Attorney’s office came to a close Monday with a trial - complete with judges, attorneys, witnesses, a jury and even a bailiff – which brought the justice system to life through a fully staged trial.

The hands-on project encouraged critical thinking, public speaking and active citizenship skills.

This week our littlest learners explored an urban farm in order to complement MMS' lessons on sustainability and environmental justice. Thank you to the Radix Center for a wonderful field trip!

Our students were incredibly proud to participate in our Peace Pole dedication on Tuesday.

You may recall our Popcorn for Peace fundraiser from early winter - well this is the outcome!

The idea - spearheaded by PK/K teaching assistant Cammy Salazar - is to share a message of peace here at MMS, and beyond.

Thank you to all who made this a reality!

Thank you to everyone who made Monday's Multicultural Festival a success!

From the organizers and performers, to the attendees and the presenters - we appreciate you all sharing your heritage with us.

Cultural diversity will always be appreciated and celebrated here at MMS.
