Sara
Gregory, School Secretary
For the past 18 years, I have
been the Senior Bell Dinger and School Secretary at Brickton Montessori School.
My favorite part of my job is greeting the children and parents in the morning
and keeping track of how everyone is doing.
I am especially fond of meeting people from all over the world and
learning a little bit about their different cultures. I am always amazed at how quickly the
children from far away countries adapt and become part of the Brickton
community.
I have two grown children who transferred to
Brickton when they were in 4th and 5th grades.
After they had both attended various parochial and public schools, we
all knew instantly that Brickton was really a special place. They both say that Brickton was the best and
most welcoming school that they ever attended, and after all these years, I
certainly agree!
