Our 2023 Best of Both Worlds Fun Run & Road Race is now in the books! The event was a great community success – smiles for miles, well over 100 runners, and many more there to support them and cheer them on. 

We had an incredible Race Day Team of Volunteers including new friends from the Junior Service League, the SNHU Women’s Basketball Team, and Mill Falls Family members. Our generous sponsors and the donated time of our Music Man, DJ Ron, as well as our incredible event partner SNHU helped to make the day really special. And of course, thanks to all who attended!

Our Montessori Work Cycles are in full swing! These uninterrupted blocks of time provide opportunities for students to engage with their carefully prepared classroom environments. Work Cycles include student practice with Montessori materials as well as small group lessons. Outside the classrooms, the children work with our Integrated Arts Teachers (aka “Specialits”) in areas of art, fitness, wellness/cultural exploration, technology, and music. 

This week featured a special day for us here at Mill Falls – International Peace Day. We gathered as a full school in our common space to mark the day. There we listened as some of our Upper Elementary Students read The Peace Book by Todd Parr. Then each classroom gathered together for a Peace Walk during which each classroom community passes a candle from one person to the next – children and adults – during this silent and peace-filled exercise. Throughout the day, the children engaged in fun, peace-related crafts, and activities.
