Summer Camp 2008
Summer Camp is in full swing at Hopewell. This past two week session was circus themed - the children learned to juggle and walk the tight rope, to tame lions and perform acrobatics. The grand finale of the camp was a clown parade around Hopewell. We had quite the collection of clowns!

Car Seat Safety
With so many types of car seats for children and ever-changing guidelines for what type of restraints to use to keep your child safe, it is hard to keep up and ensure that you are always as safe as possible. There will be a Car Seat Safety Inspection on Saturday, May 31 from 10am-2pm at the Days Chevrolet, 3693 N. Cobb Parkway in Acworth. You can have your car seat checked or installed by experts in car seat safety, ask questions, and gain a little peace of mind. Dianna Vaughn, Danielle's mom, is a Safe Kids representative - if you have any questions, she should be able to help.

Hopewell's "Wish List"
Some parents have asked us what is on our “wish list” for Hopewell. We always welcome gifts and donations of any kind, from art supplies to books to music to nature and cultural items. We love an ever-changing variety of items to learn about and explore.
Some items we can think of that we would love to add to our classrooms are:
· Butterfly Kit (watch caterpillars grow into beautiful butterflies)
· Bird and Frog “IdentiFlyer” (learn to discriminate bird and frog songs)
· Squirrel Feeder (a corn feeder that resembles a windmill would be fun to watch!)
· Drum or any rhythm instrument
· Kids in Motion CD
· Carlos Nakai CD (Native American flute music)

Hurray For Spring...Graduation and the End of the Year
The beginning of new life
Flowers, insects, chicks...
The end of the school year
Swimming, summer camp, family vacations...
This time of year is always bittersweet for me. I observe the growth and maturation of the children in my class and know for some it is time for them to leave the nest. We will celebrate Taze Lamb, John Gormley, Carley Schwelling, and Elizabeth Hicks, as they have completed the work in the Montessori primary program. We will hold a short graduation ceremony during our family picnic on Saturday, May 17 at 4:30. All of the children will be a part of this celebration through song and fellowship.
The family picnic will be a group pot luck event from 4:30-6:30 on May 17. Friends and extended families are welcome to join us to celebrate the end of a great year at Hopewell. The families of non-graduating students will host the picnic for the families of the graduates.
If your child is 2 or 5 years old, please bring drinks.
If your child is 3 years old, please bring dessert or a fruit dish.
If your child is 4 years old, please bring a main dish or vegetable dish.
Also on May 17, we will be holding a community open house between 10am-2pm. If you know of any families who might be interested in learning more about Hopewell Montessori School, who have a child between the ages of 6 weeks and 6 years, please stop by the office to pick up an invitation for them to the open house.

Seeking References for Hopewell
Parents, we are in the process of updating our marketing materials, and would love to ask a favor of you. We would love to include references from some of our parents at Hopewell in the information we give prospective parents. If you feel that you have something to say to a parent deciding on a school for their child, I would love for you to email me at lorien@hopewellmontessori.com.
We really appreciate all of the support that you, our families, have shown us over these past few years - thank you from the bottom of our hearts! We could not continue to grow and thrive without each of you.
