As crazy as it is, next week is our final week for the school year. We plan to have lots of fun enjoying the amazing students we have at CMS this year!
I hope you will join us on the 24th, at the Georgetown Public Library, as we celebrate the passage up for a number of our CMS friends. The "Moving Up" Ceremony honors our Montessori students moving from one plane of development to the next. Specifically, our Children's House student's who are leaving their early childhood years and moving up to Elementary (at 5:45) and also our Upper Elementary full cycle students (at 6:30) who are heading into their Adolescent years. It's a short, sweet, and special event for those students so please come out and support them! Students who are moving up will be receiving a special invitation later this week with details.
In addition to the Moving Up ceremony we are also hosting the 8th Grade Graduation & Portfolio Presentation at the Library at 7pm. We have 7 amazing Nova students moving on to high school next year and we are excited to celebrate their achievements this year.
Moving Up is a new beginning...
This week full cycle Children's House students who are "Moving Up" got to tour the Lower Elementary classrooms and see what its like to be in an elementary class! In addition, our Casita friends who will be moving up to Children's House next year have enjoyed visitng those classrooms and getting lessons and tours from students and Guides.
And also a farewell...
We will be saying farewell to students next week and also to some of our wonderful CMS staff members. We have a big group retiring this year and we are excited for them as they move into the next chapter of life. They include:
- Kirby Tyndall, Redbud Guide
- Deirdre O'Regan, Cypress Guide
- Rosemary Wickramasinghe, Honeysuckle Assistant
- Elsa Haddad, Dandelion After School Teacher
- Anna Lee Tully, Daisy After School Teacher
We plan to celebrate with them on our Friday staff workday (after breaking down classrooms for the year). Best wishes to you all!

CMS Summer Plans
This summer will be a pretty busy one on our campus! The Courtyard walkways will get a make over and renovations in the Blue and Green buildings will bring new flooring, paint and more! Those of you enrolled in Summer Camp will see the action firsthand. We plan for the Orange and Yellow buildings to have their turn next year!
