                                                    In our school, we have over seventy enrolled children, and they all continually amaze us! This page serves as a place to honor them and feature some of their work!

                                                    Some recent quotes from current Primary students about what they like about Stepping Stones:

                                                    "I like our school because my friends are nice." (Thomas, age 4)

                                                    "I like Spanish class because I like learning Spanish." (Lillith, age 5)

                                                    "I like everything at Montessori school.” (Jordan C., age 3)

                                                    "I love my school because I love Miss Jen.” (Rylee, age 5)

                                                    "If you want to learn, come to this school.” (Lucy, age 5)

                                                    Some recent quotes from current Lower Elementary students when asked what they would tell other families about our school:

                                                    “If you want your kids to have fun let them go here. The teachers are really nice here and almost the first day you get here you make friends.” (Geneva, grade 2)

                                                    “I think you should come here because we have great materials that you can learn from.” (Ellie, grade 2)

                                                    “I like this school because I can work at my own level.” (Max, grade 3)

                                                    “You get to play Quick Pix, you have recess, and the Country Feasts!” (Ian, grade 1)

                                                    “You get Saxon math. You get to play fun games. You get to play games on the computer. You get to have fun outside. You learn many things. You get to study different countries. You get to study different animals.” (Liam, grade 2)

                                                    “It’s fun, I’m learning Spanish, I have country studies, I learned all my South American countries, and the teachers are nice.” (Christiana, grade 3)

                                                    “Just come here because it is so fun!” (Zander, grade 2)

                                                    Here is what current Upper Elementary students have to say about their school:

                                                    “This is the best school ever! It is a very hands-on school and you learn a lot. This school has goats that you can go feed at recess. I like how we learn about the timeline and dinosaurs.” (Ariana, grade 5)

                                                    “The learning environment is different here. We get to use a lot of hands-on tools to help us understand new concepts better.” (Carlene, grade 7)

                                                    “I am very excited about the Windmill Project and we do lots of history at this school, which I like. Odyssey of the Mind is an interesting and fun after school club!” (Joshua, grade 5)

                                                    “At Stepping Stones Montessori School you REALLY learn. You get to do hands-on work and I really mean it. You can help feed goats. You can make lots of new friends because everyone is friendly…it’s heaven!” (Anna, grade 4)

                                                    “A school isn’t for racing through things…It’s about making new friends, learning new things…and having fun!” (Tessa, grade 5)

                                                    Recess is so much fun. And we provide long stretches of outdoor time to all ages, promoting exercise and a connection with the outdoors.
