At Greenspring Montessori School, we welcome and celebrate people of diverse backgrounds, histories, perspectives, identities, cultures, religions, and races. Our learning environment is strengthened and enriched through a community that reflects the nuances and beauty of an intricate and complex world.
Welcoming Statement
Our children, families, staff, and community come from a rich variety of backgrounds. We love to invite everyone in our community into the classrooms to speak about holidays and traditions that are important to you. In the 2022-23 school year, our families and staff graciously volunteered their time to present about holidays including Rosh Hashanah, Hanal Pixan, Diwali, Veterans Day, Winter Solstice, Kwanzaa, Lunar New Year, Black History Month, Passover, Vaisakhi, Shavuot, and Memorial Day. In addition, several classrooms hosted visitors to share about their cultures. Our children love these opportunities to see windows into the cultures of others as well as great pride in sharing and seeing their own cultures and traditions in the classrooms.
Take a look at photographs from our classroom celebrations and presentations from last school year. We are looking forward to continuing and expanding upon these traditions for the 2023-24 school year.
How to get involved
We invite you to please let us know about your child’s own cultural background and the holidays they celebrate. To do so, please log in to the Parent Portal, click on your child’s name, and look for the fields related to culture and holidays. Please also reach out to us at learn@greenspringmontessori.org if you would be interested in giving a presentation to our children on your traditions and celebrations.
