Our new toddlers are getting the hang of Walking the Line - a Montessori Practical Life exercise. It helps the child control his body, develop balance and perfect equilibrium.

Biscuit and Bean have returned from their summer home. Welcome back!

This is a great article from The New York Times about what makes a Montessori preschool different than a traditional preschool. **If you're interested in finding out more about The Fulton School and our Montessori toddler and preschool programs, direct message us. We'd love to give you a tour and the opportunity to observe a classroom first-hand!

TFS Head of School Kara Douglass recently contributed to St. Louis Magazine's article, "Split Screen," with tips on how to balance your child's screen time. https://www.stlmag.com/family/education/split-screen/

UPDATE: most roads are clear now. The school is open, however we will still have a late start at 10:30 AM. If you need to drop your child off early, come ahead.

Today, Monday, August 26 we will have a 10:30 Late Start due to area road flooding.

Are you as tired as we are after the first week of school? What a busy but wonderful week it has been. After a long, quiet summer, it was so good to see the halls filled again with the familiar faces (and new ones!) of our TFS students and staff. Rest up this weekend. Monday's going to be great!

Just a reminder that today, Thursday, August 22 is NOT a Late Start. We will begin our one-hour Late Start Thursdays next week.

Come out to TFS today for our Welcome Back Open House from 1 to 3 pm. Meet up with your friends, make some new ones, catch up with your teachers -- plus, have some ice cream and cookies too! Hope to see you today!

It's official... The Clack Shack is open for egg production for the 2019-20 school year. Special thanks to Frank, Amy and Fiona Hannan for sponsoring (and naming) our chicken coop this year.

Come and visit us at the BabyKid Expo at Queeny Park from 9 am to 3 pm today. Lots of free stuff and fun activities for the kids. Plus FREE admission!

Great news in the St. Albans community: Head's Store, the historic gathering place of St. Albans, will be undergoing renovation and restoration beginning this fall. A new roof, newly painted exterior and an expanded kitchen will be added. Head's Store will reopen April of 2020, continuing its history as a general store since 1892.

With this week's high temps, it seems like a good time to let you know we have a new bottle-filler, filtered water fountain on campus. Can you guess where? NOTE: This water fountain was a gift from the TFS Sixth Grade Class of 2019. They donated this to the school from the funds they raised for their Philanthropy Project.

Way to go Kosanke fam! We love you and are so proud to have you in our TFS community.

A Montessori education is truly unique. "A three-year-old educated according to Montessori pedagogy becomes a master of his hand and undertakes with joy a variety of human activities. These activities allow him to develop the power of concentration...It is through appropriate work and activities that the character of the child is transformed. Work influences his development in the same way that food revives the vigor of a starving man. We observe that a child occupied with matters that awaken his interest seems to blossom, to expand, evincing undreamed-of character traits; his abilities give him great satisfaction, and he smiles with a sweet and joyous smile." -Dr. Maria Montessori, San Remo Lectures, 1949

Good morning from our resident mama deer on the TFS campus.

The Fulton School is excited to announce that we have been selected as a 2019 ITEF Innovative Award Winner and have received a STEM grant totaling more than $56,000 through the Innovative Technology Education Fund! Our grant, entitled “Innovative Partnerships with Nonprofits,” was designed as a student- and community-based collaboration to collect, analyze and catalogue data in partnership with two other local nonprofits: Friends of the Rainforest (FOTR) and Shaw Nature Reserve. We are eagerly awaiting the start of the new school year so our students and faculty can begin the wonderful projects made possible through this grant.

Meet Stephanie Amant, our new Director of Enrollment. Stephanie is not only passionate about Fulton School from her firsthand experiences (she’s a TFS parent), but her background and skills fit our needs beautifully for this role. With a degree in communications, she served as the Director of Operations for The Legends Country Club in Eureka and later worked for the United States Golf Association. She has also served on several non-profit boards, most importantly to her, the US Open Wheelchair Tennis Championships. Did we also mention she’s heading into her second season as our TFS Varsity Girls’ Tennis Coach? We hope you’ll join us in giving Stephanie a warm welcome and share your family’s TFS journey with her!

So proud of our recent TFS graduate and Eagle Scout, John Eritreo!
