WAUWATOSA MONTESSORI SCHOOL

Dear WMS Family,

To you and yours, I send wishes of a happy holiday season. I am so grateful to have you as part of our Wauwatosa Montessori School Family.

Thank you everyone for making our concerts this week so special for our students and our community! I'd like to send another shout out to our students for spreading joy during our delightful musical performances. Thank you to Ms. Ioulia Ionina, Mr. Tyler Burmeister, and Mr. Phillip Bregant for equipping our students with the preparation necessary for our concerts to be such a success! Please enjoy a sampling of photos captured this week!

Wishing you every happiness this holiday season and throughout the coming year.

Holiday Holidays!

Principal Pallin

Dear WMS Family,

As a part of the Music Team at Wauwatosa Montessori Montessori School, I would like to congratulate your child on a very successful performance.

From just standing on the choir risers to singing, from playing a musical instrument solo to performing collectively with peers, your student's experience of performing live music is a unique opportunity to practice so many skills such as perseverance, determination, motivation, confidence, flexibility, self-discipline, stamina and dedication, creativity and the ability to cooperate with others.

The joy of creating music together also makes your child appreciate the beauty of music as an art, which is essential nutrition for our human spirit.

Thank you for your endless support. I am very proud of all our students who participated in our music concerts this year.

Have safe and happy holidays,

Ms. Ioulia Ionina
