Embracing Peace, Reflection and Renewal This Winter Break


Dear WMS School Community,


As winter break approaches, we embrace this time as an opportunity for reflection and quiet growth. Much like the experiences students have in a Montessori environment, this time of year gives us a moment to pause, a chance to appreciate the work we’ve done, and the time and space for renewal and growth.


May the next few weeks be filled with peace, rest, and the joy that comes from being together with family and friends. Like you, we look forward to all the wonderful things that await us in 2025.


Wishing you all the best,

Sarah Williams

Head of School
