As the last Link of the school year, I thought it would be fun to have the 8th year students as guest authors! Here is what they wrote:
Hello,
We’ve made it through another year, and sadly, this is our last. Our time at MSE has been the best, and [...]
What an incredible night Saturday’s annual auction was! Decorated with birds made by children, the lake house looked beautiful. Laughter and fun filled the space and, thanks to your incredible generosity, made for the most successful auction ever. Over $116,000 was raised – money that will go directly into our classrooms and teachers. Our professional [...]

Welcome Back From Spring Break!
I hope everyone enjoyed the week. Our thoughts were with the families who had to evacuate their homes due to the Lower North Fork Fire.

I have to share a story with you, one that has humbled, inspired, and

Love for Montessori
The school was buzzing Tuesday with the excitement of Valentine’s Day! Classrooms beautifully decorated, an abundance of red and pink, ice skating, bowling, and a middle school dance are Valentine’s traditions at MSE.

Every Tuesday morning is an adventure in MSE’s Middle School!
Guest speakers who are successful entrepreneurs themselves take the time to tell their stories of success and failure and share their pearls of wisdom with our young entrepreneurs. Students surprise me each week with the depth and quality of their questions. Following, there is a [...]
