Northstar Montessori would like to welcome everyone back to school and we are very proud to announce the commencement of our fifth school year. We hope you had an eventful summer!

And finally, in the office you will find Mr. Boni Ebron and/or Mrs. Virginia Ramirez who is the Administrator/Principal.

Those of you that are just beginning to use the internet, may reach our site at: www.northstarmontessori.com Soon our newsletters may be read right off your monitor. Feel free to comment on our site and ask any questions that you have regarding your child's education. Remember, Northstar's motto is to "Guide your child in the right direction!" 3).... ATTENTION! One of the students in Mrs. Gosal and Mr. Doupé's class has a noncommunicable medical problem, which is treated with a drug called prednisone. Because of this treatment, this child is likely to have severe problems if exposed to chicken pox or measles. If your child develops either of these diseases, please inform the child's teacher immediately. Your cooperation will be greatly appreciated. 4).... "Falling-Down Time of Year" by Aileen Fisher The Fall of the year, the Fall of the year, is really a very good name, it's clear: for leaves fall down all over town. They fall on their feet and they fall on their crown, they fall from the trees till the lawns are brown when Summer is over and Fall is here, in the falling-down time of year. 5).... "The First Day of School" by Aileen Fisher I wonder if my drawing will be as good as theirs. I wonder if they'll like me or just be full of stares. I wonder if my teacher will look like Mom or Gram. I wonder if my puppy will wonder where I am. 6).... Physical Education The schedule for gym is as follows: Casa Classes in Northstar II 9:30 - 10:30 (Dwivedi/Kiriella, Luthra/Mannell) Casa Classes in Northstar I 10:30 - 11:30 (Doupé/Gosal, Haji/Tyleman) Elementary Classes 11:30 - 12:30 (Carreira, McMillan, Richards) The gym uniforms will be available for sale again this year and the order form is attached with this newsletter.
