As we wrap up another incredible year, we just want to say—thank you! From the first-day jitters to the end-of-year celebrations, it’s been a journey full of growth, joy, and memorable moments. To our students, families, and staff: you’ve brought kindness, positive energy, and enthusiasm to everything we’ve done. We couldn’t have done it without you! Now it’s time to close the books and soak up some sunshine. Have a fun, safe, and well-deserved summer break. We can’t wait to see you next year for more adventures!




FAREWELL AND BEST WISHES
As our school year comes to an end this week, we will be saying farewell and best wishes to some of our students and staff. The Adolescent community has 10 amazing 8th graders moving on to high school next year. It has been a joy and a privilege to be part of their educational journey. We are all very proud of what they have acomplished and the amazing teenagers they have become. Check out their page in the CMS Yearbook! Best wishes to all of you as you embark on the next phase of your journey.
We also say farewell to Adolescent Guide Charlie Applegate. Charlie has been with CMS since 2019 when the Adolescent program first began. He's a dedicated teacher who has touched the lives of many students. We are grateful for all Charlie has contributed during his time at CMS and wish him the best in future endeavors
We're pleased to say that the rest of our staff will be returning next year and we look forward to continuing our Montessori journey with you. We'd also like to send best wishes to Janna O'Grady, who is starting 0-3 training this summer! She'll spend a few weeks with us at the start of camp but will then head to Dallas to start the training. We'd also like to send best wishes to Andres Araiza, who is currently in Arizona completing the final requirements for his Elementary training, and Jessica Clark, who will travel to Portland next month to wrap up her Elementary training.
ELEMENTARY FIELD DAY
Elementary students enjoyed some creative and wacky field day games today. From rubber chicken pick-up-sticks to to a pizza box relay, a fun time was had by all! Refreshing ice pops cooled everyone down after. Adolescent students were on hand to help, along with our elementary guides, assistants, and level coordinator.


NOVA EOY SALE & FIELD DAY EVENTS
Today was the final micro-economy sale of the year for the Nova Adolescent class. Hope you got to stop by afterschool! Students also had field day bonus items available today including face painting and rocket launching. If your student enjoyed those activities and you'd like to make a micro-economy donation, let us know.
