Hurray For Spring...Graduation and the End of the Year

The beginning of new life
Flowers, insects, chicks...
The end of the school year
Swimming, summer camp, family vacations...

This time of year is always bittersweet for me. I observe the growth and maturation of the children in my class and know for some it is time for them to leave the nest. We will celebrate Taze Lamb, John Gormley, Carley Schwelling, and Elizabeth Hicks, as they have completed the work in the Montessori primary program. We will hold a short graduation ceremony during our family picnic on Saturday, May 17 at 4:30. All of the children will be a part of this celebration through song and fellowship.
The family picnic will be a group pot luck event from 4:30-6:30 on May 17. Friends and extended families are welcome to join us to celebrate the end of a great year at Hopewell. The families of non-graduating students will host the picnic for the families of the graduates.

If your child is 2 or 5 years old, please bring drinks.
If your child is 3 years old, please bring dessert or a fruit dish.
If your child is 4 years old, please bring a main dish or vegetable dish.

Also on May 17, we will be holding a community open house between 10am-2pm. If you know of any families who might be interested in learning more about Hopewell Montessori School, who have a child between the ages of 6 weeks and 6 years, please stop by the office to pick up an invitation for them to the open house.
