The Mandala School

Adee is the young entrepreneur behind Beauty A by Adee, a business she proudly launched as part of a school entrepreneurship project at The Mandala School.

Through the school’s annual Entrepreneur Fair, students are encouraged to design, create, and sell their own products. Over the years, Adee explored several creative ideas, including holiday cards and sun catchers. During her most recent project, she decided to create something she could continue developing beyond the classroom.

Because she loves makeup, Adee chose to develop lip gloss and lip balm products. While researching options, she learned how difficult it was to find clean, safe, and age-appropriate ingredients, which led her to create her own products with her family's support.

What began as a school project has since grown into a real business. Adee now sells her products through her website and Instagram page and participates in local community vending events. She continues to expand her product line, improve her formulas, and build her confidence as a young entrepreneur.

The creativity, encouragement, and entrepreneurial foundation provided at The Mandala School played a key role in helping Adee turn her classroom idea into a thriving small business.

We are so proud of Adee. Keep up the great work!

Adee will be selling her products at the Crowns and Nest event on Friday, February 20th, from 6:00PM – 7:30PM at Ellicott Mills Middle School. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1AJZNQ73de/

We’re celebrating two of our middle school students for outstanding achievements in the City of Bowie’s "Empower the Dream" art contest!

🥇 Emma Mummert placed 1st in the sixth-to-eighth-grade category with her artwork – congratulations, Emma!

🌟 Ella Abadoo was selected as a finalist for a beautiful dance routine she choreographed herself – an incredible accomplishment and creative leadership. Congratulations, Ella!

Both Emma and Ella were selected out of 100 submissions – we are so proud of their creativity, courage, and dedication.

To honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and raise awareness about his accomplishments – and the continued need for social justice work – the City of Bowie Diversity Committee sponsors this annual contest for Bowie students.

2026 Contest Theme: “Empower the Dream: Creating Positive Change Together”

This theme invites students to reflect on Dr. King’s dream and ask: How can I help keep it alive today – in ways that create a kinder, fairer, more united world?

👏 Congratulations again, Emma and Ella!

We believe learning should be active, meaningful, and full of purpose.

Project-Based Learning puts students at the center of their education by guiding them through real-world challenges and creative problem-solving.

Our students don’t just study—they:
🎨 Build
🧪 Experiment
🗣 Present
🌱 Grow

From designing eco-friendly structures to solving local issues, every project is an opportunity to learn by doing.

Summer in the Valley offers children ages 4–17 a unique blend of hands-on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) experiences and mindfulness practices, including yoga. Grounded in our holistic educational philosophy, students explore exciting weekly themes that cultivate curiosity, creativity, and personal growth. Set on our scenic 31-acre wooded campus, children safely discover, learn, and grow through meaningful connections with nature and one another. Learn more at mandalaschoolmd.org/summer
