Executive Director for the Day…Thomas Tobin
February 21, 2014

The Administrative Team at MSLF was privileged to have Mr. Thomas Tobin serve yesterday as the Executive Director for the Day. Thomas did a wonderful job shepherding children in from morning carpool and assisting Ms. Jordahl with decisions regarding school procedures and current hot topics. He was seen around the building throughout the day helping Mr. Kevin address classroom issues, and spent time with the Business and Marketing offices. Most importantly, he made himself available as a resource to the other children, who really enjoyed having a peer leader for the day. Thomas did a truly outstanding job. He was calm under pressure, had a smile for everyone, and spread a real sense of joy throughout the building. He sat down with us for a brief interview before he wrapped up his day as the head of school:

BW : Thomas, what is so special to you about MSLF?
Thomas : Easy…we get to do our own work, have fun, and we stay confident.

BW : What is good about being a student here?
Thomas : I enjoy all of the teachers here. You always know there is someone there to help you if you need it.

BW : Why do you think a family might want to come to MSLF?
Thomas : Montessori has our own way of doing things. This is a private school with great teachers and a great education.

Greenhouse progress! 🌱 Over the past couple of months, we've been excited to see our new greenhouse taking shape! From the foundation to the floor to the knee wall, you can now see our new greenhouse classroom coming to life on campus. We are so grateful for the generous support of our community that helped bring this vision to life, enhancing our gardening enrichment program with a year-round space where all students can learn about plant lifecycles and sustainability. Stay tuned as we continue to share more progress! . . . #MSLF #montessori #educationforlife #MSLF60 #mslfcommunity #newgreenhouse #raisethestakesgrowthefuture
