The Glen Montessori School

A fresh new look is underway at The Glen!

Mr. Jack has started repairing and refreshing the exterior of our building--we're excited to see the transformation take shape!

As work continues, please use extra caution when driving through our parking lots and during car lines. Mr. Jack will be operating a Hi-Lift around the building, and your patience and cooperation will help keep everyone safe.

Thank you for helping us make The Glen even more beautiful!

The Glen Family Hike Club meets tonight at 6:15 PM in downtown Pittsburgh! Check last week's Montessori Minute for location details.
These photos are from last week's adventure on the Vinegar Hollow Trail, where hikers followed trail markers, counted tree rings, and discovered nature's wonders along the way.

Join us tonight to explore, learn, and enjoy the outdoors together!

Week 4 of The Glen's International Summer Camp is all about Brazil!

This week, campers will explore Brazil's geography, culture, food, and music through hands-on activities and plenty of fun.

Venha conosco! (Portuguese for "Come with us!")

Learning about the world and caring for it, too!

This week, Glen campers are exploring Venezuela's culture, geography, and traditions while also learning about the importance of reducing, reusing, and recycling. Best of all, they're taking their learning outdoors—enjoying the sunshine, fresh air, and green grass as they discover ways to help protect our planet!

This week, Ms. Carmen introduced campers to the Venezuelan cuatro—a traditional four-string instrument whose name literally means "four"! Students learned about its role in Venezuelan music and culture, then enjoyed a tasty treat: a traditional Venezuelan sweet made with guava and dulce de leche.

What a delicious way to explore the world!

Today starts Week 3 of Summer Camp! This time, our campers are off to Venezuela! Here are a few tidbits to talk with your campers about this week!

❤️ Today is World Blood Donor Day!

We honor the millions of donors whose generosity helps save lives every day. A single blood donation can support patients during emergencies, surgeries, cancer treatment, childbirth, and more.

If you're able, consider donating this week—and save the date for The Glen Blood Drive on September 25.

This cause is especially meaningful to our school community. Stay tuned later this summer to learn more about why supporting blood donation matters so much to The Glen.

🩸 One donation can make a life-changing difference.

Sign up to donate blood at The Glen on September 25:

It's been a hot week at Summer Camp! ☀️💦

Here, campers are splashing, laughing, and discovering the Kiwi bird—the national bird of New Zealand, followed by some outdoor exploration at Fern Hollow Nature Center on their first field trip of the summer! Summer learning is always more fun with friends!
