We had a great time visiting Full Moon Reflections Art Gallery today. So much beauty in the gallery from 60 different artists. We even got to meet one of the talented artists, Emmanuel Vaucher, and our elementary school students watched his piece while our primary students made some art work of their own. What a special day!

Lewis Manor visit our students!
We had the most adorable visitors this week from Lewis Manor Labradoodles!! All of our students had permanent smiles on their faces!! The puppies undergo extensive puppy socialization program to prepare for their work as therapy and service dogs and we were lucky enough to be one of the places they visited as part of their training!!!

“Micro-Schools”
I love to read articles on education, specifically how education is changing and inventive approaches to education. Most recently I’ve been reading a lot about “micro-schools”, some people refer to them as modern day one room school houses, and I’m fascinated by how similar the approach is to Montessori education. Both types of schools utilize mixed age classrooms with a small number of students. The curriculum is highly individualized for each student in both of the types of school as well.Here are two great articles about micro-schools if you’re interested:
