School Spirit Week at Brookeside! During our January school spirit week, students at Brookeside Montessori School expressed themselves by joining in spirit days! We wore our school colors of red, yellow and blue! We supported our favorite sports teams! We clashed wildly! We dressed in our tie dyes for peace and we also dressed as our favorite book characters!
Santa's visit to Brookeside! There is nothing like being cozy, singing holiday songs, and eating a delicious snack! This is exactly what we did last Friday when Santa made a special visit to our buzzing classroom. It was a true gift to see many faces light up and hear giggles fill the room.
The Kindergarten and Elementary students had a great time learning about Hanukkah from Mrs. Ashcom. The students heard a story about the holiday, saw the lighting of a Menorah, ate fried matzah, and played the dreidel game.
Last month a pilgrim and a live turkey came to Brookeside Montessori School! This program from Quiver Farms is an annual tradition. The students hear the story about the first Thanksgiving. Then they enjoy activities about the foods the pilgrims would have eaten and the tools they would have used. It’s a great holiday show!
Last month the Brookeside Montessori Home and School Association held their annual walk-a-thon fundraiser. It was a great success! The students raised just over $1,000. Some of the money will be used to purchase new cabinets for an art room makeover.
