Dear FMSL Parents,
We are so excited to welcome you to the 2020 – 2021 academic year. When we were classroom teachers we always loved the start of the school year- we poured our heart and souls into creating wonderful prepared environments for our students to return to and would get so excited for all of the potential and possibility that a new academic year could bring. This year in our new roles of school directors the love and energy is no different.
2020 has already presented many challenges and, while we do not know what the future has in store, we are so happy to see our parents, students and staff showing great resiliency and adaptability in this unique time. Thank you for all the support you have given in the shifting of many policies and procedures as we navigate through this pandemic.
As you know, our administration has undergone some significant changes this year and we are hopeful that this new structure will bring about opportunity for growth as a school while we continue to ensure the vision of sustaining an authentic Montessori school founded in rich community values. We are so grateful to be part of an amazing team of people, each of whom brings a unique passion and set of skills to the table. It is our intention to do our best to honour Robyn and Bob’s vision for a community school.
Each year our staff has a theme that helps unite our efforts and provide focus for our work. This year’s theme is “Come Together”. Since we are learning to communicate and interact in new ways, this theme felt appropriate to our changing times. We plan to come together as we maintain our vision and mission. We look forward to working with you on the many committees and groups we have set up for the year.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out.
With gratitude,
Margaret and Brandi
