Two of the many Bluffview Montessori Students demonstrating virtuous behavior this week:  

Poppy is a preschool student in Mr. Josh’s CH1 classroom who was recognized this week for displaying the virtue of responsibility when she helped fold laundry and put it away. Poppy’s favorite class is recess, and when she is not in school, one of her favorite activities is playing with her stuffed animals. Poppy’s favorite part about Bluffview Montessori School is picking her prize for Explorer of the Week! Poppy is the daughter of Olivia and Samuel Kendall.

Kiyen is a 6th grade student in Ms. Kaul’s E2A classroom who was recognized this week for displaying the virtue of respect when he set a great example as the first line helper for the rest of the class. Kiyen’s favorite class is PE, and his favorite activity outside of school is football. When he grows up, Kiyen wants to be in the NFL! Kiyen is the son of Clinton and Jena McCullough.

Two of the many Bluffview Montessori Students demonstrating virtuous behavior this week:  

Bella Keller is a 3rd grade student in Ms. Kiersten’s E1B classroom who was recognized this week for displaying the virtue of courtesy when she shortened her swinging time to give a waiting friend a turn on the swing. Bella’s favorite class is art, and her favorite outside of school activity is seeing her parents. Bella wants to work in a bakery when she is older! Bella is the daughter of Katie and Scott Keller.

Corbin Guyer is a 4th grade student in Ms. Zahrte’s E2B classroom who was recognized this week for displaying the virtue of helpfulness when he found and picked up items from the fire lane. Corbin’s favorite class is math, and what he likes best about Bluffview is that it is not like a normal public school. When he grows up, Corbin would like to be a police dog handler. Corbin is the son of Trisha Berg and Corey Guyer.

This year’s back-to-school BBQ is coming around faster this year as we pair the event with a speaker whom a few of us heard at a restorative practice workshop over the summer. His story of hope and resilience left us inspired and without words. Having published two books, he’ll also spend the day working with students on the power of writing and listening. Donations for the dinner support Erdkinder immersion and field trips. (Vegetarian options are available). This is also the evening when band students can sign up for instrument rental. The back-to-school BBQ event is 4:30-7:00 p.m. on Friday, September 12th. Childcare for CH and E1 students available from 6:00-7:00 p.m.
