Seward PTA: Parent Volunteers Needed

 


A strong community is ESSENTIAL to Seward Montessori. We need your help. Right now. In the upcoming months we’ll be hosting a welcome gathering for new families and celebrations for outgoing students. We are also looking for your volunteer support on the Site Council and PTA. Being involved now will help us make a smooth transition for our outgoing students & families and continue the foundations of support we’ve built in our community. 

 

To volunteer with welcoming new families to Seward events and/or celebrations for outgoing student, please email Kerry.Cashman@mpls.k12.mn.us. 

 

The Seward Montessori Parent Teacher Association is run by volunteer parents, parents that want to be more involved and engaged in their children's education. The PTA raises funds for programming, curriculum and community building at Seward. Potential volunteer opportunities include: room parent (organizing parent/student gatherings and communication to parents), after school bike club (Mon. and Wed.), green team, morning Walking Wednesdays fall 2021/spring 2022, plant sale (spring 2022), picture day, gardening on Saturdays, Read Around book sale in January. If you are interested in volunteering for a PTA activity, please email Christian Novak at chair@sewardmontessori.org

News from Science: Karen Utter E1 Students Learning about Air E1 is learning about Air and Weather. So far we have learned that air is a gas and is all around us. We’ve been introduced to the terms: air resistance, compressed air and air pressure. We’ve learned that air takes up space and that it is stronger than all of us when it’s in a space it can’t escape from.    E2 has started learning about Motion and Force.  We learned that a force is a push or pull and that the scientific word for creating motion is “applying a force.” We discussed speed, direction and gravity.

  Dear PTA, Spring is in the air.  And so is retirement. After 28 years, it's time to say goodbye. *I remember Melissa Ericksen before she was married.

It has been an honor. Mary D.
