Fox and Bear Community

Happy Tuesday! We are looking forward to a normal work week this week. GMAS testing begins next week for our 3rd graders. Testing will alter the schedule for all students with changes to our Explorations classes, so we appreciate everyone's flexibility. Our last field trip for the year is next Friday, 4/24, at Tybee Island. 

Loki needs a summer vacation! If you are interested in keeping our bearded dragon for part of or the whole summer, please email Ms. Jess at Jessica.Fry@sccpss.com. 

Please see the following information about upcoming dates. Note that today is the last day of the presale for the Sidewalk Art Festival. 

Ellis Montessori Sidewalk Art Festival!

Join us for an evening of creativity and community as our sidewalks fill with colorful chalk art.

Each registration includes a sidewalk square and a box of chalk, and pizza snack boxes are available for preorder as well! Click here to secure your spot! Click here to choose your pizza flavor preferences. 

✨ Bring a towel, blanket, or chair to sit on while creating your chalk art and enjoying time with our community.
✨ Wear play clothes, as chalk can get messy.
✨ Check in at the welcome table to receive your chalk and sidewalk square.

🍕 Pizza snack boxes are limited at the event — preorder to guarantee yours.

💛 This event is a fundraiser supporting Montessori professional development for our teachers.

📅 Presales end April 14
