Our Montessori students are LEAPING for joy on this #LeapDay!
Our Scripture focus for the season of Lent is John 3:16. Mrs. Bishop had the idea for the bulletin board in our school entry to feature the verse with the words "SO LOVED" in large, black letters, so that each student in the school can sign their name within them. #LENT #LOVE
Happy Birthday to our very own leap baby & cafeteria assistant, Mrs. Nancy Braunscheidel! As a SMS class of '53 alum, Mrs. Braunscheidel says she has many fond memories of being a student here, including her wonderful teachers from the Sisters of St. Francis. #LeapYear #feb29
Grades 4 & 5 took a field trip this week to the Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural Site. They stepped back in time to the world that TR knew, including the excitement of Buffalo's heyday and the Pan-Am Expo, & got a sense of what it was like to lead our nation during that time.
Our Montessori program offers 5 day/week instruction for ages 3-6, with a focus on Practical Life, Sensory, Math, Language, Geography, and Science skills, as well as weekly exposure to Spanish, Art, Music, and Physical Education. Visit http://tinyurl.com/4x6hjw3f to learn more.
Our Montessori students made it outside again earlier today during the "calm before the storm". #recess #freshair #sunshine #wishingforspring #SMStheplacetoBEE
3rd & 4th grade Boys Basketball wrapped up their season with pizza, awards, & a Dads vs Sons game, of which the final score was highly contested! Volunteer coaches at SMS put time and effort into creating robust experiences for our students, and help them develop at every level.
