MSLF Parent Gulden Mesara-Dogan publishes her first book
February 26, 2015

mommygoesMSLF Parent of Selin and Sarper, Gulden Mesara-Dogan published her first book: Mommy Goes to the Office. After unsuccessful attempts to find a book to answer her own children’s questions about what she does at work, Mesara-Dogan wrote her own book in the effort to explain a typical work day to her children.

Mommy Goes to the Office is a picture book which is designed to improve communication between a working parent and his/her child. The book tries to help young children understand what happens in an office setting and how a parent spends time at work. The narrative is told from the perspective of a young girl as she describes the different tasks her mother does throughout the course of her professional day and how she makes time to spend with her family, too.

Mesara-Dogan is a senior executive at a Fortune 200 company and has been a working mother for 9 years.
Mommy Goes to the Office is available at Amazon.com.

Congratulations to Gulden!

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
