What a beautiful morning last Saturday! 🌿 Thank you to everyone who came out and joined OMA and Friends of Trees for our Spring Tree Planting event. Together we planted Willows and Dogwood in an area where Beavers have returned — restoring habitat and giving back to the environment we all call home. 🦫🌱 We are so grateful for this amazing community! 📍 West Bethany Creek, Portland, OR.

Music is the language of the soul and has the power to
nurture and enliven the spirit of children and adults
alike. The Montessori approach to cultivating music in
young children is part of our Montessori heritage and
integrates the eye, the ear, the hand, the voice, and the
soul - leaving an indelible impression of joy and grace.
This refresher course will offer a holistic exploration of
the Bells, introductory music theory, reading and
writing music, as well as singing, rhythm, and
movement. Following the path that the musical
collaboration of Maria Montessori and Anna
Maccheroni created, we will work together to cultivate
the “spiritual inheritance that humanity bestowed upon
children”, and have a great time together in the
process!
