  • Welcome and Land Acknowledgement: 
    We, the community of City Garden Montessori, honor the Illiniwek (Eel-Ly-neh-wehk) people, the original protectors of the lands that we now call St. Louis, MO. We also honor all of the people impacted by the current pandemic in our own community and across the world, and those who have been harmed by racialized violence. Let’s now give a respectful and brief moment of silence.
