Alumni Spotlight:
Erin Peterson
Erin Peterson and her three younger siblings all attended MSBG. Erin just graduated from Bowling Green High School and plans to attend BGSU this fall and major in special education.
In high school, Erin was an accomplished golfer in addition to her many academic and leadership accomplishments. In 11th grade she received the Coach's Award as well as 3rd team all conference. In 12th grade she received the MVP award and was 2nd team all conference.
Here are her reflections on her experiences at MSBG:
I was very prepared for middle school, especially in the math department. Montessori helped me become very knowledgeable in math.
I feel very prepared for life from Montessori! Montessori has a very different outlook on things than public school does, and that's why I love it. Teachers at Montessori pay attention to you more, helping you in the areas you need help the most. It taught me a lot about independence and finding who I was. It also taught me a lot about resolving conflicts with friends. The peace rose helped many times and taught me to remain calm in situations.
Montessori taught me more about life than junior high and high school combined taught me. I remember going to Camp Wilson the most. I'll never forget camp. Definitely some of the best days of my life.
