As part of their study of the artist, Claude Monet, a group of Upper Elementary students planned a Going Out to the National Gallery of Art to see some of his paintings. They wanted to learn more about Monet’s life and 19th-century Impressionism. The students did all of the planning for their trip, including scheduling and obtaining driving, navigating the metro, and mapping out walking directions.

Our Adolescent Class would like to thank the community for their support of the class’ Thanksgiving turkey fundraising project. The project was a great success! Proceeds will benefit their Adolescent Program as well as another Montessori program the students have chosen to promote. The Adolescent students decided to “pay it forward” and donate a portion of their earnings to Ncinci One’s Montessori, a Montessori school in rural Xhosa, South Africa which has launched a literacy campaign for children through GlobalGiving. Giving to and supporting others, especially those less fortunate, is an important lesson for our students and we are sincerely grateful to the generous many who have helped our students as they learn to help others.

This month, the Lower Elementary class collected over 300 items of food for their food drive. The students delivered the donations to the Fauquier Community Food Bank and watched as their boxes were weighed. They were amazed to see that they had collected 352 lbs of food! The students learned that their donations will help the Food Bank serve up to 60 families a day. They felt very proud of their accomplishment and they are grateful to their families and friends for their unwavering generosity!
