On Monday, September 21, 2015, students at Brookeside Montessori School, near Boyertown, celebrated ‘World Day of Peace’.

We also learned about the geography and culture of Australia and compared it to our own. After a quick reflection on the summer, campers said goodbye to their good friends at Brookeside...until next time!
