Getting
to Know You: Each
week this section will highlight one staff member and their answer to the
question: How do you express your creativity?
Agnes Guerra, Children’s House Directress
I do not think of myself as a
very creative person. Recently, I was
told I am creative in my work with the children, which really prompted me to
think about my creativity or lack thereof.
Upon further reflection I realized that I am indeed creative in my
craft. Based on my observations of the
children and the work of Maria Montessori, I create a welcoming classroom
environment which calls to the children.
I create new "work" based on each child's needs. I create for the children an opportunity to
thrive. My work with the children has
also prompted me to pursue a new way to express my creativity: storytelling.
Volunteer
Spotlight
Many thanks to Diane Grassi for
doing a “deep clean” to our maintenance closet.
She fixed shelves, sorted, tossed, reorganized and even painted the
closet. It is a DIY masterpiece!

drink, tables, coolers or to help out with the event. We look forward to seeing you there!
Give With Target
This year, Target will give money
to schools all over the country for one simple act: a vote. Our school needs
just 25 votes to earn a $25 donation from Target. But that's only the
beginning. For each additional vote, our school will get $1 more. So please
remember that, although the gesture is small, the rewards are potentially huge.
Go to GiveWith.Target.com to vote for Brickton Montessori School once a week
through September 21 or until Target has given away all $5 million. And please share this with your friends. Vote and see rules at GiveWith.Target.com.
Manna
Is Back!
Our Manna Gift Card program
resumes this week. Purchasing Manna Gift
Cards garners two important benefits for the Brickton community:
1.) It helps to fund the Middle
School’s overnight trips.
2.) It helps you pay your
Brickton tuition.
Manna Gift Cards are perfect for
every occasion:birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas, graduations, etc., and
Manna’s large selection of gift card vendors, including grocers, restaurants,
stores, and gas stations, means these benefits can easily be earned on money
you are already spending. It’s a win for everyone.The first due date for Manna
orders is this Monday, September 16th by 10:00 am, and we plan future orders on
alternate Fridays.Want to learn more? Stop by the Middle School Manna Booth at the Block Party -- where you’ll
receive a quick tutorial.
