When asked to describe how yesterday’s peace celebration made her feel, a third year Early Childhood Willows class student
(kindergartener) uses the moveable alphabet to build the words peace, love, magical, wonderful and grateful.

Happy International Day of Peace.
Please enjoy viewing the prayer flags decorated by our students and staff when you visit the school this week.
In a Montessori classroom, order and creativity coexist. Animated conversation and silent observation work together in the same space. In the best environments, children of all races and cultures learn side by side.
The Montessori approach offers children intentionally prepared environments that are full of beauty and order. Materials in the classroom are appealing and designed to meet the developmental needs of each child. Montessori-trained teachers are the bridge between the environment and the student, first through careful observation of each child, and then by providing appropriate instruction and guidance.
This video was created as part of the documentary film project, Building the Pink Tower. “What if we were to set aside the noise of failing schools, teacher evaluations, test scores, achievement gaps, and funding issues — and ask, instead, what is the true goal of education?”
If your student has or uses an Epi-Pen, Inhaler, or Benadryl for an allergy or other medical condition, you MUST have a recent Medical Action Plan and Medicine Release Form filled out.
Please fill the forms out with complete, detailed information as soon as possible. If any information changes throughout the year, please update the information and return it to the MCS office. You will be able to download the forms from the announcements section of the website for the remainder of the year.
Please be vigilant and thorough while taking the time to do this, as we want any member of our staff to have enough information to offer the care and support your student may need if there is an emergency.
This information is not only for those parents with students who have allergies or other medical conditions, but for all parents to look at and become familiar with, as many of our students are very young and are still in the process of discovering their little bodies and their bodies responses to potential allergens.
Please check out these other supplemental forms that would be helpful as the more information we have regarding your child’s health and medical procedures, the better prepared we will be in assisting and administering the proper medications the correct way.
As many folks at MCS know, I love nature and continuously find more and more ways to be engaged in natural cycles and environments. This summer I had the amazing opportunity to be involved in the Herb Pharm Herbaculture Internship program in Williams, Oregon! Herb Pharm is a world renowned company that grows, sources, prepares, and sells herbal extracts. Through the internship program, interns work on the farm in exchange for herbal classes and opportunities to gather and make medicine. While I was there, I wrote an article for their newsletter about our experiences as the summer interns, which is also included in this publication. I have already found my summer immersion into herbs to be greatly inspiring in my personal life as well as my work with the children of MCS! We are eating the weeds and making seasonal teas out of our on site local flora and loving it! May your relationship with plants continue to grow as well!
The pictures here show Calendula!
We harvest about (literally) a ton of Calendula by the end of the season.
So, usually 300 to 400 pounds per week or so! Is it any wonder how Calendula is my new favorite herb?!
Winter is just a season away. Please keep in mind that all students participating in the Winter Sports Program this year will be REQUIRED to have helmets and goggles and there will be no daily rentals at the resort.
