Dear City Garden Community,

Happy October! This Monday marked the beginning of our seventh week of school here at City Garden Montessori, and we have hit the ground running.

Even in seven weeks, the City Garden Community has been up to big and exciting work. I invite you to read below and check out some of our updates.  

With gratitude,

Christie

Last Friday marked the Early Childhood Education Center's Back to School BBQ! The annual Back to School BBQ's at City Garden serve as an opportunity for families and staff to gather and fellowship with each other.  

It was so nice to meet and connect with so many new and returning preschool and Kindergarten families! We look forward to gathering with the Elementary and Adolescent Education Center families today! Check out some photos from the BBQ below.

City Garden Montessori School’s Elementary and Adolescent Education Center will be recognized as a 2022 Missouri Green School Honoree at the Sprout Level for our commitment to improving health and wellness of students and staff, lowering environmental impacts, and providing place-based education!

Big shout out and congratulations Ms. Lauren Denney, our Outdoor Education Specialist, for her leadership and commitment to realizing this vision for our school community!  

The next step will be applying for the national level recognition of U.S. Green Ribbon Schools. We look forward to becoming a more environmentally conscious school, with more comprehensive focus on sustainability.

The City Garden Phoenixes are rising to new heights this fall, and Mrs. Trisha Anderson, City Garden Athletics Director, shares some exciting accomplishments across our athletics programs.

Cross Country – In a recent Cross Country meet, 2 of our boys finished in top 14 out of 40, and our girls team finished 3rd and 4th, bringing home 3rd place overall. In another recent meet, 2 boys finished in the top 20, with three girls finishing in 3rd, 4th, and 5th place – giving City Garden 2nd place overall for the school's girls team. Big shout out to Coaches William Heisse and Nick Diener for their leadership!

Soccer – the 3rd and 4th Grade Soccer Team has been undefeated this fall, under the incredible leadership of Coach Chris Stevenson. They have won three games, and tied one game. They have their playoffs starting this Saturday, and hope to play in the Championship game next Saturday.

Volleyball – 3rd and 4th Grade Volleyball Team has won two games this season, thanks to the amazing leadership of Coach Garrick Mueller.
