The First Great lesson

 

We give the child nourishing food so that his little body may grow, and in just the same way we must provide him with suitable nourishment for his mental and moral growth. 
Maria Montessori

Happening this week:

Friday, Nov. 21st:

Harvest Feast Day! 

 


  • 8:45 AM Community Circle PARENT BREAKFAST (All Parents Invited)

Community Circle Breakfast:

Finding Confidence in Parenting

$10/person, cash only.

Join us for a morning of reflection and conversation with therapist and LMS parent Jaclyn Tanner, who will lead a discussion on how to stay curious and open to new ideas about parenting without losing confidence in your choices. Jaclyn will help us consider how to give ourselves grace as parents, set boundaries with confidence, and support our children’s growth and resilience without the constant worry of whether we are doing it “right.” Parenting is lifelong work, full of learning and adjustment; this Community Circle offers a warm space to feel grounded and reassured in the process.


  • 11:00 AM Harvest Feast (Children's House & Elementary Families)

After breakfast, Children’s House and Elementary parents are invited to return to LMS at 11:00 AM for the Harvest Feast. We’ll gather on the field for a celebration of gratitude, followed by a meal prepared by the children. 
Please note: Only Children’s House and Elementary children participate in this event with their parents. We do not disrupt the morning routine for our youngest community members.

In keeping with tradition, we ask that each person brings a bowl (preferably wooden), cup (preferably tin), spoon, cloth napkin, and a basket to carry them in.

We look forward to celebrating with you!
