Note from the Head of School
We were thrilled and honored to have Maureen Coughlan, Thacher Montessori Founder, visit us this week. Maureen observed classrooms and connected with staff. The students were eager to interact with Maureen, sharing work and conversation. Maureen gave a "big thumbs up" to the beauty of the rooms and the outstanding instruction provided to students. 

Thank you, Maureen; it was beautiful to see you!

On another note, we returned the Thacher tradition in acknowledging Thursday's International Day of Peace. Students and staff gathered outside in a joyous community celebration to send Peace and Love to each other and out into the World.
