We're recognizing Juneteenth today! The holiday gives us the occasion to reflect on the profound contributions of enslaved Black Americans to the cause of human freedom.

✨Save The Date!✨
Next week, at the conclusion of each school year, we take a moment to acknowledge those students who are completing their “kindergarten” year of Children’s House and their 3rd and 6th years of elementary. These milestones correspond to the traditional Montessori divisions between programs (Children’s House to Lower Elementary, and Lower Elementary to Upper Elementary) and we want to take this opportunity to honor these children for the progress they have made. This year, we are thrilled to bring in our ATI Middle School graduates to our ceremony as well.

Please make sure all children arrive back at school, by no later than 6:15pm on June 15th. More information will be coming to you soon from your classroom teachers. We look forward to it!

After months of intense work: IXLs, meeting deadlines, capstone projects, and running a microeconomy cafe…our ATI students got to enjoy a bit of fun at ! Up next, camping trip!!!

Thank you to the brave men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

Each year, schools and parents across the country use a week in May to show their gratitude for the teachers who touch their children's lives.

Guide Appreciation Week starts next week, May 8-12.

We would invite you to participate as much or as little as you'd like. Please swipe ⬅️ to sign up. Thank you!! 🫶🏻

ATI is launching our next Microeconomy business - a cafe named Cold Brew Cafe! Our cafe will be open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8 am to 9:15am. Our opening day was today and the next one will be May 4! We will offer fresh brewed Cold Brew, homemade muffins, and bagels. Our prices are $2.00 for coffee $ 3.00 for a bagel or a muffin. You can pay with cash or Venmo.
 
Hope to see you soon and thank you for your support!

The students are learning what goes on behind the scenes to run a business, and are starting the cafe as a Microeconomy to benefit our community and support their business learning.

to all those who celebrate!

The Elementary Play last week was a wonderful success! Our ATI students had a blast helping on the back-end with set design, costume and prop making, blocking, and choreography.
Great job to all the Elementary Actors and Actresses!

Our ATI students took the Wiehle-Reston Metro into Washington D.C. and visited various museums. Here are a few pics. Enjoy!

ATI Classroom Happenings:

Our middle schoolers took their Earth explorations even further! They studied how the different angles at which the sun's rays hit the Earth impacts how much its surface heats up. They also explored how the tilt of the Earth's axis impacts the temperatures on Earth. This uneven heating ultimately causes our seasons and by using a model, we can understand why this is.
