Happy Memorial Day! We honor all military personnel who have died in service of our country.

We have fun learning every day! Here, Lower El students explore geometry and challenge themselves to make new designs with the constructive triangles.

In May, we celebrate learning. This week, we honored Dr. Sonya Hemmen for 14 years leading Ross Montessori. Student Council thanked Sonya for her dedication to RMS. We’ll miss you next year, Sonya!
