All Organic Snack Policy

Montessori Tides School will adopt an all organic snack policy starting school-year 2015-2016.

This policy corresponds with Montessori values emphasizing care of self and environment.

We consider it in the children’s best interest to have high quality food, and we know now that organically grown food is also better for the environment.

MTS_Snack_Policy2

As Montessorians we greatly care about both, and our actions model our values.

We understand that this is different from previous years and will require some adjustment.

Your own garden, Farmer’s markets, Native Sun and local food systems may all contribute to successful implementation.

Our children will inherit the Earth. Our actions help protect and respect what we value, and will contribute to a clean, healthy sustainable earth.

Excited to be on the vanguard of the future!

If you have any questions, comments or concerns you may direct them to Johanna Porter.

About Johanna Porter

Johanna learned about Montessori in 1997, in Seattle, while searching for a pre-school for her oldest daughter. Before the school year was over, she had enrolled in Montessori Teacher training. “I was in awe,” said Porter. “For me, it was a new approach to education.” Today, what fascinates her most is the peace, calm, and beauty that the Montessori environment provides for the children. The emphasis on the development of respect and understanding for other human beings is the foundation for the loving and peaceful atmosphere. She began working at Montessori Tides in the fall of 1999, enrolling all three of her children. In her spare time she likes to be home with her family, cooking, and keeping things organized. Her yoga practice keeps her flexible; singing, dancing, and sewing keep her smiling.
