The Brickton Weekly, March 14, 2013


Manna Orders Due

You can use them for gas, groceries, clothes and gifts!  If you pay $25.00 for a gift card, you get the full $25.00 value of the card  - the Middle School makes a profit, and you get a discount on your tuition. Everybody wins!!! Just pick up your order forms from Dotty’s office and return them by Friday March 15th
Getting to Know You: Each week this section will highlight one staff member and what inspired them to pursue working in a Montessori environment.
Dotty Schweitzer, Bookkeeper
When I left Corporate Management Training and Consulting I wanted to return to accounting and be in a new environment that I would enjoy going to everyday. Montessori had always interested me and being around children all day was something new to me.  A few of my friends have had children in a Montessori school and the conversations with their children were always engaging and fascinating. I felt that I could hear their thought process.  I have learned something new every day that I have been at Brickton.  I truly love what I do, and this is where I want to be!
