Picture Days, Oct 5th, 6th & 7th

Aspen Hill Montessori Picture Days

Monday October 5th 12:00pm-4:00pm
Tuesday October 6th 9:00am-12:00pm & 1:00pm-4:00pm
Wednesday October 7th 12:00pm -4:00pm


At Aspen Hill Montessori, your children will be embracing the treasures of nature in their daily learning and exploring. We will extend this experience on picture day by bringing the children outdoors for their school picture.

Please have your child dressed in full school uniform on their picture day.

The photographer is here only during the above times, therefore, students attending Monday & Wednesday mornings must sign up for their pictures.
All other students will have their pictures taken during their regular class time and need not sign up.

A sign up sheet for Monday & Wednesday morning students will be posted at school this Tuesday September 29th.

We will require parent volunteers on picture day. Please sign up on the volunteer sign up sheet in the foyer at school if you are able to help out.

Thank you for your support.

From Mrs. Robotham

Welcome Back Parents and Students,

First of all I wanted to THANK all of the parents for the thoughtful gifts and flowers at the end of the year and throughout the year. The certificate went towards something very special. You were all so kind and generous with your words and thoughts. I feel very blessed to have taught your children as each and every one of them touched my heart and I will always cherish the memories we had.

I’m hoping you all had a very enjoyable summer. :) I had a very eventful, but relaxing summer as well.

I am so excited and wanted to let you know that I have started my NAMC(North America Montessori Training Center) Montessori Training and will be graduating in early 2010 with a Certified Montessori Teaching Diploma. I am so excited as there is so much to learn, and thanks to your children for teaching me and sharing with me their Montessori knowledge last year.

I’m very excited about meeting the new students and catching up with the returning students. I know you will be amazed when you walk into our NEW Montessori class, as it’s very beautiful and inviting. I am looking forward to having another fun filled year of lessons and exciting events with your children. This year I am very excited about my new position as a full time team teaching kindergarten teacher. Please feel free to contact me with any concerns or questions about your child at my home email address norm_deb @telus.net or through the school blog.
