Thank You!
Thank you so much to everyone! You all helped us to feel a little more at home. We appreciate all of the love and support we have received, that is truly what has helped us get through this difficult time.

Mr. Rogers

Welcome Lea Lewkowski!
Miss Lea Joined our staff this week in Upper Elementary. Lea

She is taking over for Miss Stefanie who is on maternity leave.

Where did you grow up and what brought you to Tobin? I grew up in Haverhill, MA and I'm still there! I Love, love, love Public Montessori and wanted to work at a well established school that knew how to do both successfully.

Favorite time of year?
Fall because it is sweater weather!

Favorite teacher you had in school?
My dad! He taught me the "school of life"
1) stand up for yourself
2) make mistakes
3) sense of humor
4) traveling the world is an education you can't get in a book

Skiing in Aspen or sunning in the tropics?
Sunning in the Tropics!

Favorite movie?
I have two: Shawshank Redemption and Lion King

Dark or milk chocolate?
Milk chocolate is the best!

IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER BY MISTER ROGERS
"Children who have learned to be comfortably dependent can become not only comfortably independent, but can also become comfortable with having people depend on them. They can lean, or stand and be leaned upon, because they know what a good feeling it can be to feel needed."
