Snippets of Family Fun

One of the great things about North Tacoma Montessori Center is our commitment to our wonderful families and the gatherings we hold to promote connection and community. This way we can celebrate and support each other in times of joy or need, whether it’s a congratulations for a new addition to the family or a deployment over-seas. Here are some snippets from the 2007-2008 school’s family functions. Enjoy

 

the Gingerbread party is the much awaited seasonal event that’s always a hit.  This year the kids decorated the outside of Santa’s house with all sorts of yummy treats fashioned out of paper and glue.  Looks like Santa is living in style!

 

 

Yup, that’s right, Santa never forgets a surprise visit to our center even in the busiest time of year.  Our kids all get a chance to sit on his lap and drop a few hints from their wish lists.  Hmmm, when in doubt, pull out the list!

 

 

Even the smallest little ones enjoy a moment with the man in red.

 

 

Caution!  Gingerbread house construction zone!

 

 

Look out for these future architects of America.

 

 

This is serious business, but I can’t tell if it’s serious building or serious munching!

 

 

Fun, fun and more sticky fun.

 

 

Who’s been naughty and who’s sitting on Santa’s lap?  Happy Holidays from all the staff!

 

 

2008 Daffodil Parade

 

This years Junior Daffodil Parade theme was “Storybook.”  We had a great turn out of families marching along this year.  We were decked out with banner, balloons, streamers, and yellow and green themed t-shirts.  There were quite a few storybook characters running around too.  Here’s a couple of crazy characters… looks like Little Bo Peep and Red Riding Hood!

 

 

Aaah, Mr. Wolf, please don’t eat me!

 

 

Mother’s Day Picnic

 

We love to honor the Moms in our lives.  We celebrate these great women with a sack lunch picnic.

 

 

It was fun to see everyone enjoying themselves on a sunny day.

 

 

Multi-generational mommies!

 So Cute!

 

 

 

Aaww, Teacher Lisa with Emma.

 

 

Teacher Darcy… future mom.

 

 

The kids decorated frames to border drawings of themselves with their moms.

 

 

End of Year Extravaganza!

 

Each year we honor the “Tiger class” (the older pre-k kiddos) as they become school-agers with a graduation ceremony and whole school performance.  We continued the theme of storybook and came up with some cute skits to show off our talents.

 

Goldilocks and the three bears.

 

Oooh, that naughty little Goldilocks!

 

Singing I’m A Little Teapot.

 

Tiger rendition of The Three Little Pigs.

 

Congratulations Tiger class.  We are so proud of you!
