Our mission is to provide a solid academic foundation employing the philosophy of Maria Montessori within a loving, respectful and supportive community.
Our Vision:
Through Cosmic Education we give the child a vision of the whole universe
Our Core Beliefs and Values:
All children experience maximum learning potential or windows of optimum learning at various times
All children are motivated to learn, multiple and divergent intelligences are honored and recognized
The celebration and respect of diversity is critical
The child’s hand is his teacher—experiential learning is essential to internalization
The prepared environment is a student centered, learner-centered environment
Self-discipline is achieved through natural consequences and peace education
The dignity of labor and purposeful movement is vital and encouraged
Hello Faith North Community,
This week we had our first PTA and Site Council Meeting. Both meetings were productive and full of information, but we missed seeing many of your faces. PTA and Site Council are excellent vehicles for staying informed. Please check our school website for the schedule of meetings for the year and mark your calendar for the next meeting on Wednesday, September 1st, pizza is served at the PTA and childcare is provided at both meetings. The job of our PTA is to add to the positive climate at Faith North by supporting and organizing events that help us build community as well as implementing fund raisers to support our outdoor environments and other extracurricular activities. You may contact the PTA via their email at faithnorthpta@gmail.com. The mission of our Site Council is to support and build the culture of excellence through work that improves instruction and student learning. The Faith North Site Council may be electronically mailed at sitecouncil@faithnorth.com .
Kym Guntermann, our garden and outdoor environment teacher at Faith North resigned this week. Kym has created some wonderful memories and grown some beautiful gardens with our children and staff. She will be so missed. Thanks Kym for all of your hard work. Your garden clogs will be hard to fill!
Please join us for our first community event, the Salad Spectacular that will be held on Friday the 20th at the Faith North Main Campus. We will enjoy the company of our new and old families while enjoying yummy salads. So whip up your favorite salad to share at this potluck event; we look forward to seeing you there.
All the best!
Susan Engdall
Principal
