The Rotary Club of Georgetown is a service organization of professionals and leaders dedicated to humanitarian work, high ethical standards, and promoting goodwill and peace. One of their current initiatives is creating Peace Gardens in local schools. These beautiful spaces invite children to reflect and resolve conflicts peacefully.
We are excited to share that CMS is on the list to receive a Peace Garden this school year! This is a wonderful opportunity to live out Maria Montessori’s vision of Education for Peace on our campus. Our elementary students have been invited to help design the garden, and once it is built, we will celebrate its dedication with our entire school community. Stay tuned for updates!
The CMS Board of Directors would like to invite all families and staff members to our first Town Hall of the 2025-2026 school year! Click Here for the agenda.
Tuesday, September 9th
6:00-6:45 p.m.

Staff Highlights
This year we will be introducing you to a different staff member each week. We look forward to sharing things like why they love CMS, how they were introduced to the Montessori philosophy, and what they enjoy doing when they are not at school.

Casita Guide
(at CMS since 2023)
Q) How long have you worked at CMS?
A) I have worked at CMS since September 2023 and have helped as an assistant in all three Casita classrooms. I am so excited to be the Guide in the Rosemary Community this year! :)
Q) How did you discover Montessori and how has it impacted your life?
A) I was introduced to Montessori as a child. I was in the Children's House level before continuing my education in public school. During college my mom recommended that I look into working at a Montessori school for some part-time work and that is when I fell in love with the Montessori philosophy. Since then I have continued working with infants and toddlers in Montessori schools and as a nanny.
Q) What advice do you have for parents?
A) I would recommend The Happiness Lab podcast with Dr. Laurie Santos. She is a Yale professor that studies the science of happiness. It is such a great podcast to listen to for tools on how to build a happier life!
Q) What do you do for fun outside of work?
A) In my free time I like to stay active by lifting and running, I love reading books, and hanging out with my three dogs: Nugget the Pug, Maya the Golden Retriever, and Ellie the Dachshund.
