Check out this meaningful activity from the Mockingbird classroom! Our students are learning what it means to be good citizens by practicing kindness and discovering how their actions can positively impact others.

To bring this concept to life, we demonstrated the “ripple effect” by dropping an object into a bowl of water and watching the gentle waves spread outward. Just like those ripples, even the smallest act of kindness can reach others and create a lasting, positive impact in our classroom and beyond. 💚

We feel so lucky to have Mrs. Cooper leading our music classes, for toddlers all the way to our 8th graders! at Archgate is playful, but deeply intentional. Through the , students learn by singing, moving, playing instruments, and creating together—building rhythm, pitch, listening, ensemble skills, and .

Mrs. Cooper also brings cultural study into the work, researching musical traditions, learning songs in their original languages, and studying directly with musicians and educators from around the world. The result is a music program rooted in collaboration, creativity, and authentic cultural exchange.

Thank you for all you do, Mrs. Cooper! 🎶

Deepening our own learning practices to best support EVERY student is at the heart of our work as Montessori guides. It was an enriching and empowering start to the year!

A warm thank you to our parents who paused their Wednesday morning to join us for Cosmic Coffee—a beloved gathering where we come together for meaningful conversations and share more about our community, programming, and Montessori curriculum. This Fall, Mrs. Cocimano and Ms. Gwyn guided two separate discussions—one that took us deeper into the third plane of development, or adolescence, and another that gave an overview of the “Great Lessons” as part of the Elementary Curriculum!

Which topics would you love to see in the future? ☕️⬇️

Four new birdhouses have been added to our campus, thanks to the generosity of one of our Blue Jay Grandparents who volunteered to spend a morning teaching the children how to build them! This special experience brought smiles all around and became a core memory for the year! 🫶 We appreciate our parent and grandparent volunteers for meaningful moments of joy just like this. 🐦

For , students and staff gather in song and reflection for their future. While we hope for peace on a global scale; peace is something children practice in the small, everyday acts within their class communities—listening, resolving conflict, showing compassion, respecting differences, and taking responsibility.

Every “I can do it myself” eventually becomes “I can make a difference." 🕊

We were reminded this month how the bond between an educator and her students, and the impact of her work, never truly fades. An alumni family whose two sons attended from 1994–2004 reached out to share their gratitude for the foundation Mrs. Finley helped give their two sons, both of whom have since become successful Ph.D. professors. Mrs. Finley, who has been with us for 38 years and counting, is still doing what she does best: guiding and inspiring students. The family made a generous $5,000 donation, with the special request that Mrs. Finley help determine how the gift can benefit our school. What a beautiful full-circle moment. We can’t wait to share how Mrs. Finley puts this very special gift to work, and we are thankful for the generosity and support of our parent and alumni community. 💚🫶
