A New Year! Our Second Year!

We are six weeks into our new school year and what a journey to be here a year later looking back. A year ago, we were getting to know one another, learning carline, learning new schedules, making new friends, and trying to adjust to this new adventure of Holy Trinity Montessori. Now, a year later, we are still doing some of the same things but with such ease. However, what a year makes!!

As we begin this new year, we are in the final planning stages of our first annual Art of Whine, our fundraiser headed up by an unbelievable committee of HTM parents, we are planning for school expansion and most importantly we are watching our 18 plus returning children SOAR!

It is so great to see what a year means in a Montessori environment. We have Toddlers who are so independent in their process they have mastered toilet training, mastered independent care and are now the role models to their new Toddler friends. We have seen our oldest Toddlers move to the Primary classroom which such joy, excitement and ease. We have seen our returning Primary children learn their sounds and now begin to read! We also have children working on letter/sound recognition, early reading, addition, skip counting, Spanish, art and music. We have seen the children return with such a calm and grace that even Maria Montessori would be proud. Our returning children have become our role models to our new friends showing them lessons and greeting them with such respect and kindness.

Our faculty and staff, all returning faculty, have been one of our biggest gifts. To work each day with such talented and amazing women, I am truly blessed. Our school has grown and succeeded in such an amazing way and I attribute this all to the faculty. Going to "work" is a joy and a blessing each and every day!

So, after many months of being very busy and not reflecting, I am pleased to say that all I can do is be continuously grateful for the blessings that HTM continues to receive. The children, faculty, parents and supporters of HTM are an amazing group of people and I look forward to the day when our HTM family can grow even larger!
