January News – Sparta
December Recap
The holidays have come and gone. We want to thank all of our volunteers who helped us during our Holiday party. A big Thank You to Santa for taking time out of his busiest season to spread holiday cheer to the children and their families! Also thank you to all families that participated in the Seasons of Hope toy drive. There was such a wonderful outpouring of generosity from our Alpine families!!
During the month of December, we learned about three very different holidays - Hanukkah, Christmas and Kwanzaa. Just like Maria Montessori believed, learning about our different cultures can hlep us understand that diversity is the key to world peace. We hope that everyone will have a happy and peaceful new year! We also enjoyed lots of great holiday music with Mr. Chris.
