Peace & Service 2011

In the News... We had a wonderful guest visit our school on September 9, 2011. Doris Fisher, local author of My Half Day, My Even Day, One Odd Day, and Happy Birthday to Whooo? came to our school to read her books to our students. She was also gracious enough to sign some of her books that the children had purchased. We really enjoyed her visit. Thank you, Ms. Fisher!   More Photos Kingwood Montessori elementary Students raise over $1000 for K.I.N.D. (Kids in Need of Desks) in Africa. At Kingwood Montessori, elementary students follow a weekly course called ‘Peace and Service’, in which they learn about leadership and how to be of service to the world. Civic-engagement projects, are carried out throughout the year culminating in an art and bake sale which is held along with our Earth Day, Science Fair.  In 2011 students decided to raise money for the K.I.N.D. project (Kids in need of desks in Africa) and for UNICEF for their children’s program in Japan, after the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. Students prepared artwork, baked goods and made cyanotype (light sensitive fabric) pieces for a beautiful quilt entitled “Sunshine and Batiks” and constructed by our creative grandparent, Trisha Stengel. In 2008 Kingwood Montessori began a project to participate in a national pilot program on the integration of servant leadership principles and civic-engagement; this was sponsored by a collaboration of the Greenleaf Center in Indianapolis and Manoa Partnerships of the University of Hawaii,” six schools were initially involved: Iolani School - http://www.iolani.org   Kingwood Montessori - http://www.kingwoodmontessori.com McMurry University -  http://www.mcm.edu University of Hawaii at Manoa - http://www.uhm.hawaii.edu   Wartburg College - http://www.wartburg.edu   The program has been a great success in our school and goes from strength to strength each year. Students are learning to become leaders in an ever changing world.
