I recently had the pleasure of helping the kindergarten students prepare for their graduation photos. Their pride and excitement could be felt throughout the campus. The preschoolers, who very much look up to these campus leaders, were also excited and impressed when the future graduates walked through in their purple caps and gowns. The move from the primary to elementary school is a right of passage in our community and we are excited for their future adventures in learning. Although we will miss their daily presence in our classrooms, they will have left their mark on our hearts.
The children love to celebrate Valentine's Day, sharing a little something special, which they created or decorated in some way, with each of their classmates gives a sense of pride and contributes to the sense of community.

"The more the capacity to concentrate is developed, the more often the profound tranquility in work is achieved, the the clearer will be the manifestation of discipline within the child." Dr. Maria Montessori
Spring Break Camp March 14-18
The Mission Community
The St. Anthony and St. Apkar campuses were visited by a group of 8th grade students who shared information about a service project in which they are involved. Project Cure collects much needed basics for the children of Sudan. The primary children were given the opportunity to contribute as well and have been excitedly bringing in the items.

Tax Credit News
A huge thank you to the families that have completed their 2021 tax credit and helped us reach over $42,000 in tax credits from 121 donors. Our goal is 100% participation before April 15, 2022 as this program funds our specials directly enriching your child’s academic experience. It is a dollar for dollar credit on your AZ income taxes up to $400, so it doesn’t cost you anything. Thank you for directing a portion of your AZ taxes to our school in support of your child’s education.
