High School Graduation
"Start Something New"

Our four high school graduating seniors continue MMS’s tradition of "starting something new."  All four are adding activities that can both be embraced by the Meadow Montessori community and the community at large here in Monroe. The following are the legacies that will be left.
  
Tyler Eisaman has been the Editor-in-chief of the Meadow Montessori School Yearbook this year.  Under the tutelage of Brian Anderson, Tyler has developed a plan for the continuation of the yearbook as tradition for Meadow for years to come.
  
Carl Ghigliazza is directing and producing a drama/comedy, which he hopes will be a continuing tradition for either Fall or Spring for the High School, to balance with the Opera. His inaugural play will be "That Darn Plot" by David Belke.
  
Cam Calbert organized a clean-up of historic Sterling Island on Thursday, May 29 from 6-8 pm. Cam hopes this will become an annual event.
  
Kyla Brown planned a Walkathon sponsored by Meadow Montessori to assist the victims of Hurricane Katrina. This horrific event affected her life personally, and she wants to give something so others can move on with their lives.  The walk took place Saturday, May 24 from 9 to noon.
