Spring arrives with a renewal of spirit and life! During this season, Willow Tree Montessori presents High Tea to the Primary Full Day children.  Drawing on their individually developed Wills during the earlier months, it is at this time that the children are most able to present their refined skills in patience, grace and courtesy, and service to the larger community.  

Thursday mornings mark the beginning of our preparations for the Friday service.  Each week, a child is invited to help in the making of a simple gateau (cake) and store it until the next day.  High Tea culminates with the children choosing a caffeine-free, fruit tea and a small piece of the gateau.  It is an elegant sharing to end our work week.
