June Newsletter
Dear Families
May was a joyful and vibrant month at Global Village Montessori! As the school year wrapped up, we welcomed the excitement of summer approaching.
Our students had a wonderful time learning about Mexican instrumental music and the Summer season, which officially begins in June. They also began exploring the many fun activities planned for Summer Camp, including Water Days, special guest visits, field trips, and more!
In celebration of Mother’s Day, the children created heartfelt arts and crafts to show their love and appreciation. We also honored Memorial Day on May 26, one of our nation's federal holidays. As part of this observance, the students participated in a history lesson to learn about the meaning and significance of Memorial Day.
Teachers and students had a wonderful time celebrating the last day of school! It was a joyful and memorable way to wrap up a successful academic year, filled with laughter, games, and special moments shared together.
