Featured Blog
Each month we will feature a couple of blogs so that you can see Montessori education in action at Brickton. Discover all the opportunities our students have to develop independence and self-confidence. At our school, students take ownership of their learning with joy. This week, we are featuring the Middle School Program Blog.

Club Day
Tomorrow, Friday, April 13th, is a Club Day at Brickton due to parent conferences. Please make sure you have signed up for a conference time with your child’s directress and let us know if your child will be attending the Club Day by sending an email to sara.gregory@brickton.org. Care will be provided for children of parents during their conference time at no extra charge.
Off to Nature’s Classroom
The Middle School students are headed off to Nature’s Classroom for a week. Nature’s Classroom Institute is a residential environmental education facility where students participate in a variety of activities along with students from other Montessori schools across the Midwest. It is an exciting opportunity for Brickton Montessori School students who attend Nature’s Classroom for one week each year in the 9-12 program and 2 weeks each year in the Middle School Program.
A Special Project
Some students in the Lower Elementary program recently put pen to paper to write a story. They were inspired by the book Freefall by David Weisner, which is full of beautiful pictures, but has no words. They decided to write their own! Below is a special Voicethread presentation of the story with its pictures and original words written by Cian, Frankie, and Jolena. (If the video below doesn’t work, click here.)
Upcoming Open House
Tell your friends, family, and neighbors. Brickton will be hosting an Open House for prospective families Sunday, April 22nd, from 12:30 – 3:00 pm. It’s a chance to tour the school, talk with directresses, and learn more about the Montessori philosophy and our school.
Earth Day is April 20th, and Brickton is celebrating with 25 ways to reduce your carbon footprint, featured on a bulletin board in the lobby. Please swing by and check out easy things you can do to make a difference. While you’re there, make a pledge. What will you do to help Brickton become a “greener” community?
