Maria Montessori said:
“Adults work to finish a task, but the child works in order to grow and is working to create the adult, the person that is to be.”
Alexa Whyte, MSBG seventh grader, received the "Positive Start" award from the Bowling Green Exchange Club.
This award is given to seventh and eighth grade students who have reached out to make a difference in their community.
She received her award at a ceremony earlier this week.
Alexa was honored for her efforts to create a children's book that she will share with younger students at MSBG to help them understand the importance of kindness to animals. This project is Alexa's individual service project for the year, part of the Middle School's goal to match students' strengths with community needs.

Grandparents/Special Adults' Week
Calling all grandparents and special adults!
Your grandchildren would love to have you spend some time with them in the classroom. Please see the sign-up sheets located in the foyer. If you have questions, please email or speak with the classroom teachers or the office. Time slots are available in one-hour increments in order to accommodate all the grandparents but you may sign up for more time slots if the schedule allots. If you are interested in visiting during one of the enrichment programming time (Spanish, Music, Physical Education, Art, Band), please check with the classroom teachers for the schedule.
We're so looking forward to our special visitors week! All sign up sheets are in the foyer on the white board.

Chess Updates
The Worthington Chess Challenge was held on March 15 at the Evening Street Elementary School in Worthington OH. For this tournament, 211 kids played 5 games over the course of the day. Of the 34 players in the K-2 category, Aiden Skinner won the 10th place trophy. Gabriel Skinner, participating in his second tournament ever, was one of only 3 kindergarteners playing. Competing against only 1st and 2nd graders, he placed 16th. These individual scores earned MSBG a third place in this category, placing only 1 point behind 2nd place (St Joseph Montessori) and 1.5 points behind 1st place (Wellington Elementary).
