Rachel Cordaro created this special painting to commemorate WMS's 50th Anniversary.

Our Roots Run Deep

Webster Montessori School is celebrating its 50th Anniversary! We have roots in the community and in the lives of families, and they run deep. We have educated hundreds of children. We have touched the lives of thousands of children, families, parents, grandparents, staff, and community members. We have children enrolled here whose parents attended Webster Montessori School a generation ago. The roots of our school family are deep and that is something to celebrate!

Our Branches are Strong

Our roots are our legacy. They support the branches of our tree. Those branches are strong. We are bigger than ever. We have more students, more families, and more staff in our community than we have had in 50 years. Our branches reach wide as our alumni spread all over this state, nation, and world. Our branches represent our school.

Our Leaves are Abundant

It is our deep roots and our strong branches that give us the most important part of our tree: its leaves. This tender new growth appears each year. It is those new leaves that rely on the rest of the tree. They are vibrant and tender and seem as a small miracle. They start so fragile and tiny and unfurl themselves majestic and glorious. They are like our children; ready to learn and grow and follow their path. And like the leaves on a tree that require strong branches and deep roots, our children require parents, and schools, and communities to help them grow. They are the most important part of the tree.

It is all these parts that make the whole. Our roots and our branches are our legacy. They can help us shape and guide the next 50 years. Our leaves are our future. Together we will support the next generations of children. Together we celebrate their growth and development. Together we celebrate their opportunities. Together we look to the next 50 years.

Our Roots Run Deep -- Our Future is Unlimited

To our community, our students and families, and our staff, we say, “Thank you for all your support!”
