School Carnival
OMS held its annual school carnival on October 25th. The children had a great time in the jump house and enjoyed face painting and popcorn. The highlight of the event was a puppet show of Jack and the Beanstalks performed by The Fratello Marionettes. The fun-filled morning ended with a pizza lunch.
Silent Journey & Discovery
Held on November 1st, the Silent Journey and Discovery educational event helps adults to expand their knowledge about the Montessori philosophy, terminologies, materials and names of lessons which can be difficult to understand without a thorough preface. The goal of this evening was to increase parents' knowledge about their child's work and learn about their day, which in turn will help them have a better context when their child shares information with them.
