Alumni Spotlight: Meet Ryan Polk

October 15, 2019

By Julie Strickland

Ryan graduated from Springmont's Middle School in 2014 and moved to Texas, attending St. Michael’s Catholic Academy for high school. He is currently a sophomore at Texas A&M University where he is a member of the Corps of Cadets.

Ryan shares, “My time at Springmont has been more than valuable to me. My favorite memories and lessons are still there, like learning karate afterschool in Sam's karate class [and] communication and idea-sharing [for] my 6th-grade project. I even learned to take life for the beauty it is through the relationships I made with my teachers and classmates and memories that are too many to count.”

“Oh, the Pink Tower, that’s so OG Montessori!” Spoken in passing by an Upper Elementary student who has been at Springmont for 7+ years, these words remind us of the long-lasting impact of the classroom materials so carefully designed by Dr. Montessori. Hands-on, multi-sensory, and self-correcting, they promote independence, concentration, and a deep love of learning while isolating a single concept, such as size, in the case of the Pink Tower. These sensorial materials develop visual perception, fine motor skills, concentration, and spatial awareness and serve as a foundation for learning math concepts, such as the base-ten number system, in the future. Extraordinary!

This past Friday evening, families from all three Toddler classes came together for a Potluck Picnic! In addition to enjoying food and conversation with one another, this event enables families with young children to feel connected to each other and the school community, fostering a sense of belonging. Thank you to Room Parents and teachers for organizing this!
