Julia's Garden Newsletter: Farm to Fork Tickets on Sale and New Venue Announced, Get 'Em At Early Bird Prices, Early Dismissal November 21st, Accreditation, Costume Policies and More!

Greetings, Families!

The fall weather is finally upon us and we are looking forward to cooler days. Mr. Jeronimo and the children continue to water the garden daily and our little greens are starting to sprout.  Yay for fall!

W. Milton Construction 🚧
The city has completed its construction project on W. Milton and we can return to our regular established parking system. Please drive up South 2nd Street and park in the first available street parking space you see on West Milton. Walk or carry your child, either holding hands or in a stroller/carrier,  to campus and until he/she is collected by a guide.  Refrain from parking on S. 3rd in order for us to maintain a positive relationship with our neighbors. Parking spots in front of the school and in the driveways are reserved for staff members.

Please exit to the right (north) when leaving W. Milton and always park in the direction of the traffic, leaving plenty of space (at least one meter on each side) of our neighbor’s driveways.  As always, thank you for your continued cooperation with parking.

Accreditation! 📜
Julia’s Garden Montessori is officially accredited!  We were presented with our accreditation from ICARE (International Council for Accrediting Relationship-based Education) on Monday, October 14th, 2019. Julia’s Garden is the first school to be presented with this prestigious award from ICARE and we could not be more grateful to our parent and staff community for their participation throughout this process. Now, on to the next one!

Halloween Do’s and Don’ts 🎃
We celebrate Dia De Los Muertos in lieu of Halloween at Julia’s Garden. It is a beautiful Mexican holiday full of history, color and a celebration of life.  Please refer to your child’s lead guide for more information on how your community will be celebrating and how your family can contribute.  Please note that wearing Halloween costumes is not encouraged at school, please save your child’s Halloween attire for after school enjoyment.

Enjoy the week ahead!
