In the Know:
New! Navigators Robotics Club
Robotics Club begins this fall for 6th, 7th and 8th year students. With the support of Quarkmine, students will team up to design and build robots for competitions. Robotics Club will meet once a week, after school at Compass Jr. High, with a fall session and a spring session to prepare for regional tournaments with other schools.
Quarkmine will demonstrate this new robotics program for students next week during school hours. If your student is interested in joining Navigators Robotics Club, please sign-up by September 29. We also need parent coaches to supervise teams during Club times. Quarkmine handles all technical training with the students, so no experience is needed. Please indicate on the form if you are willing to help coach a team. Details will follow. Sign up to learn more.
New! Spirit Wear Swap
Because everyone loves Spirit Fridays and children grow fast, a group of parents have set up a Spirit Wear Swap in the coat room next to the front desk. Leave an item your child has outgrown or take something that fits! Stop by anytime. (And while you’re here, be sure to check the Lost and Found for items your child could be missing.) A new apparel store is coming soon, stay tuned!
We are still looking for volunteers
Complete the volunteer interest form today! Filling out the form does not commit you to an event; it simply shows us that you are interested and are requesting additional information.
Learning Opportunities for Adults
We look forward to presenting a wide range of opportunities for our community to learn more about Montessori and relevant parenting topics. Take a look! traversechildrenshouse.org/parent_ed.asp

Teens; a Reprise of the Toddler Years
by Kristina Weidenfeller
Twenty-three years ago when I was starting my career in education, I swore I would teach elementary, maybe high school, but NEVER middle school. My first job? Middle school. They’ve been my favorite ever since. Continue Reading...
