Cincinnati Montessori Conference:
Last Saturday, 11 MSBG faculty members attended the CMS Spring Conference.
Almost 600 Montessorians (from as far away as Florida, New York and New Mexico) gathered for an incredible learning and networking opportunity for Montessorians in the Midwest!
Debbie Edwards, the keynote speaker, presented on intervention services in her address entitled, " Know Your Ducks! Create a Learning Environment that Meets the Needs of All of Your Students." 16 different breakout session covered topics ranging from phonemic awareness, to state policy issues, to authentic assessment in the Montessori environment.
This type of professional development is so key in the success of our school and in optimally guiding the children we serve.
A key partner at the CMS Conference was the Ohio Montessori Alliance. The Ohio Montessori Alliance continues to work to collaborate and effectively coordinate opportunities for teachers and schools across the state. Click HERE to read the March Newsletter.

CAPE Updates
Movie Night
We had a great Movie Night last Friday—thanks to all who came out and shared popcorn and friendship. Particular thanks to Christie Poiry for envisioning and organizing Movie Night.
Game Night
Spring is coming (theoretically!) . . . and with it, Game Night on April 11. Save the date for an evening of games both cerebral and athletic, with dads acting like game-show hosts, food, and time to catch up with other school families. Then, plan to take the morning of June 4 off from work so you don't miss our Community Celebration. Our end-of-year ceremony and field day have always been a special way to celebrate our school family and bid our graduates farewell, but this year CAPE will add in carnival elements to make the day even more active and fun. CAPE's spring fundraiser will help us afford inflatables for the party! You won't want to miss it.
Spring Fundraiser
Spring fundraising packets will arrive in your child's mailbox next week. It's a win-win when we can buy Myles and Klotz gift cards and goodies from Carruth Studio and support MSBG at the same time! Take advantage of this pre–Mother's Day bonanza and get your orders in by March 28.
Jump Rope for Heart
 All students who have physical education with Miss Antonia are participating in the Jump Rope for Heart program benefiting the American Heart Association. Should you should to contribute to the American Heart Association, all donations are due by March 14.
Kroger Rewards
For those of you participating in the Kroger Rewards program, the 3rd quarter payment has arrived! Families need to log in to your Kroger account online and print out the benefit that was paid on your behalf. If you then turn in this statement to the school office, we will credit your tuition account for that amount. Be sure to have any of your friends and family that signed their cards up with Montessori as their charity to print out their statements as well. We will need all statements turned in to the office no later than March 26, 2014. After that time, any remaining benefit will be donated to the CAPE parent association and the school scholarship fund.
Open House
Come visit us today from 8:30am-4pm!
