50th Anniversary Tree Planting

On Wednesday, November 28, we planted a beautiful red oak tree commemorating the 50th anniversary of the founding of our school. Thank you to MSFW parent, Nicole Hawkins and her crew for selecting and planting this beautiful tree. Our students wrote out hopes and wishes for our school that were planted below the root ball including: "I wish for MSFW to recycle anything we can." "My wish for MSFW is to grow in knowledge, kindness, and love." "I wish for Montessori school that it will prosper and grow for many years to come." "I wish for more football equipment in Cowboys colors for the playground."
