This #MontessoriMonday, we are Going for Gold! 🏅

Inspired by the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano Cortina, Mrs. Lindquist's 4/5 class created this beautiful door display using their own handprints to represent the Olympic rings. Projects like this are a wonderful way to practice fine motor control, while fostering a sense of global community and pride in our shared work. 🌍🤝

We’re also sending a huge Gateway shoutout to SUU alumni Jennifer Hansen, who is currently in Livigno, Italy, capturing the high-flying Half-Pipe and Slopestyle events! ⛷️

Which sport are you and your children most excited for this year? Are you tuning in for the high-speed thrill of the Luge, the incredible jumps in Freestyle Skiing, or the team spirit of Ice Hockey?
