Happy Thanksgiving
From all of us
here at Brickton Montessori School, we would like to wish you and your loved
ones a very happy Thanksgiving. School will be closed on Thursday and Friday in
honor of the Thanksgiving holiday.
Thank
You Corner
The Middle School would like to
thank everyone who donated or bought books at their book sale. They raised a little over $80.
Thank you for honoring the
reserved parking space near the front door for the Urbanski family who puchased
it at the Big Leap. This spot remains open at all times for the lucky family
that wins the bidding to ensure they have speedy drop-offs and pick-ups
throughout the day.
Quaker,
Quaker
A
longstanding Thanksgiving tradition here at Brickton - the Quaker Dance - is a
time for our students to come together and celebrate being a community. The words to the song are: Quaker, Quaker, how are thee? Very well, I thank thee. How’s thy neighbor next to thee? I don’t know
I’ll go and see. Enjoy the slideshow!
National Geographic Geography Bee
On
Monday, the Upper Elementary and Middle School students participated in the
annual National Geographic Geography Bee.
All of the students competed admirably for 7 rounds. We are happy to report that coming in a 3rd
place tie are Aisuram Romeo and Ephraim Guerra, 2nd place is Malina
Joyce, and in 1st place, for the second year, Madison Plaza.
Congratulations!
