Lyonsgate Update March 3, 2025
Good Morning Lyonsgate Families, While the winter term is the shortest term of the school year, it was certainly the most adventuresome this year with a surprise Friday afternoon blizzard, a surprise snow/ice day, more snow than we’ve seen in years, some deep freezes, and a taste of spring warmth. Through it all, your children at all Montessori levels, from the youngest Toddler to the oldest Elementary students, have handled it all with grace and joy. Thank you. Enjoy a much-deserved…

Lyonsgate Update Feb. 18, 2025
Good Morning Lyonsgate Families, It was so nice to see so many Lyonsgate students arriving this morning. Between sickness and snowstorms the last couple of weeks have been out of the ordinary, to say the least. We hope you all had a great Family Day long weekend and were able to get out and play in the snow (rather than just shovel it and drive through it). It has been wonderful to have lots of snow on the playground and at the park for the students to play with, and in. The last couple of…

Lyonsgate Update January 20, 2025
Good Morning Lyonsgate Families, We had some snow, finally, for your Lyonsgate Montessori kids to play with last week.
