Attention MCS Families & Community,

Due to the State of Emergency and severe winter weather conditions in Ohio this week, we are cancelling tomorrow’s Open House.

With the safety of our community as our top priority, we felt it would be unsafe and unwise to ask families to travel in such weather. We appreciate your understanding and flexibility.

We will be in touch soon with information on a rescheduled date. Please stay safe, stay warm, and thank you for your continued support of Montessori Children’s School.

Warmly,
Montessori Children’s School

We know we’ve been talking a lot here today — between the Brightwheel SOS and all the IG updates, it’s been a big one for MCS news. But this next announcement is one you don’t want to miss.

Did you hear?! Our Deep-Fall Garden Club sign-up goes live this Wednesday — the very same day our Fall Fest Auction opens!

Guess good things really do come in pairs. 😉

Mark your calendars for Wednesday when both announcements will drop in Brightwheel —
🌱 Garden Club sign-ups for K–3rd (a really great late-season session!)
🎁 Fall Fest Auction link to start bidding on all those amazing experiences donated by MCS staff, parents, and alumni.

Both are built from the same roots — learning, joy, and giving back. 🍂🧡

Happy Monday, MCS fam! 🎉
Hear ye, hear ye… we’ve got HUGE news. 👀

Fall Fest is getting a glow-up — same joy, same community celebration — but this year, it’s also our very first scholarship fundraiser!

Our goal? $30k = 3–4 full scholarships for next year. 💫

We sent all the juicy details straight to your inbox!

You’ll be seeing us everywhere these next two weeks — Messenger, socials, Brightwheel — because we want this first-ever fundraiser to be epically amazing. Let’s make it happen, together. 🧡

FROM CELEBRATION TO SCHOLARSHIP

09/08/2025

First full week under our belts and things are humming along. Classrooms are settling, rhythms are taking shape, and the flow of new routines is beginning to feel familiar.

At MCS, we know how important consistency is — steady schedules and daily habits give children a sense of safety and belonging. With that foundation in place, their confidence and independence can bloom.

We’re already seeing it: quiet moments of concentration, friendships finding their stride, and the joy of outside time woven into every day. It’s the small, everyday habits that make the big magic possible. 🍃✨

09/01/2025

Labor Day reminds us that purposeful work is more than a job — it is part of the human spirit.

In our classrooms, children choose work that calls to them, gaining confidence, skill, and joy in the process.

Today we celebrate all who contribute their time, talents, and effort to the world around them. Happy Labor Day from MCS.

☀️🏖 Happy MCS Beach Day! 🏖☀️

Finally… some sunshine and weather to support today’s big-brain, big-splash adventures! Yes, we call it Beach Day, but it’s so much more than that. Think fun, laughter, loads of water, and friendships soaking up every moment together.

It’s our last big collective hurrah before we all head off into our summer stories. ✨

Don’t forget:
🩱 Swimsuits
🧴 Sunscreen
🕶 Sunglasses
🧼 Towels
🍧 Popsicle-ready stomachs

We can’t wait to see you today—let’s make it a day to remember! 💦💛

As the school year comes to a close, we’re still riding high from our last big community gathering of 2024–25: the International Cultural Festival. 🌍🎉

This year’s event was extra special—not only did we celebrate culture, food, music, and traditions from around the globe, but we also came together to raise funds for next year’s festival through a community raffle. The support was overwhelming in the best way. 💛

We’re endlessly grateful to the incredible local businesses who donated and showed up for MCS in such a meaningful way:








and the Greek Village Grille in Lakewood!

MCS is a special place made even stronger by the people and businesses that surround it. Thank you for being part of our village. 🌿

🎉 DAY 1 of Teacher Appreciation Week = a spicy success! 🌮✨

Today’s storybook theme was Dragons Love Tacos—and so do our teachers! Thanks to Cilantro Taqueria and an incredible mocktail bar, our fiery faculty kicked off the week with tacos, laughter, and lots of love.

We’re also thrilled to share… we hit our fundraising goal! 💛
This week wouldn’t be possible without the generosity of our amazing MCS families. Thank you for showing up in the most thoughtful, wholehearted way. Our teachers felt it—and then some.

Stay tuned for more storybook magic tomorrow… 🍪😉
