North Shoreview Montessori

Middle school students will again wear uniforms this year. The uniform consists of black pants, long shorts, or a black knee length skirt (non-athletic). Students will have a choice of a forest green or a white polo shirt or a school logo T-shirt. The shirts will be available for purchase at a reduced rate in the school office starting on August 16th or during the ice cream social on August 31st. They can wear a plain gray crew neck (no hoods) sweatshirt or the gray sweatshirt with our school logo. Shoes should be tennis shoes with black or white shoelaces as all students will participate in P.E. Target, Kmart, Penney's, and Sears all carry the clothing required.

Families are invited to join the NSM community for our longstanding tradition of Friday Morning Gatherings.  Students, staff, and parents come together in the gym at 8:15 to say the pledge to the American flag and to the Earth, share announcements, and sing favorite songs in keeping with the Montessori tradition of education for peace.  Classes occasionally share special performances to mark the seasons of the year.  Since 2008, students in our new Middle School program have taken responsibility for choosing and leading the songs.  Different songs are selected each month and classes are given the chance to learn the words ahead of time; visitors can sing along to the lyrics projected on the big screen courtesy of our Stage Crew.  Lyrics to some favorite songs of peace, friendship, and recycling can be found in past issues of the Montessori Messsenger newsletter:
