WHEN CHILDREN FIND JOY IN LEARNING, THEY ARE FOREVER INSPIRED TO EXPLORE THEIR WORLD, AND FOREVER PREPARED TO SUCCEED IN THEIR PURSUITS.

Eighth Grade Service Learning
Each Lower School class and Middle School advisory participate in a service learning project during the year. Groups are working on a range of projects, including helping animals, helping a firehouse, and helping the environment. Here are some photos of Mrs. Vessey’s advisory's project, visiting a Senior Living residence. She said, “We had a fun afternoon at Haverford Estates (part of Brandywine Senior Living.) We decorated cupcakes, ate, and laughed with the seniors. All of the students are anxious to return and visit our new friends again. It was truly a wonderful afternoon.”
Third Grade Invention Convention
Third grade students held their very own Invention Convention after learning the history of some ancient inventions. Students came up with a concept and built their invention using found items and gathered materials. Creative thinking and problem solving skills were needed, as well as excellent collaboration skills. The students had a great time working on their creative inventions!
It Really Is Rocket Science!
Montgomery's seventh grade students recently built their own rockets and launched them on the back field. The students bundled up for the task, and enjoyed the clear skies and great view as their rockets headed for the stratosphere. They then calculated the speed and distance of the flight. While we often hear the phrase, "It isn't rocket science," this actually is!
