Congratulations to our staff members who took 3-6 Montessori teacher training this summer (2010) and are serving in the classrooms as interns this fall.

As it happens, one of the interns used to be a student here at MSP herself! We thought you would enjoy seeing this photo of her when she was an MSP student.

Our Middle School Model United Nations group just returned from New York, where they participated in the Montessori Model UN. Our student delegates not only got to play in the snow, but also represented the country of Italy in their UN negotiations and discussions. They even get to do some of their work at the actual UN building.

Two of our MSP students got to speak in front of the whole delegation.
