PEACE BEGINS WITH ME—Key West Montessori Charter School students (left to right) Allison Smith, Caber Bausmith, Kavan Heckler, Emma Norman, Ella Castro, and Kaia Bell, and guide Rachel Martinez celebrate International Peace Day at Bayview Park in Key West last Wednesday, September 21. The public charter K-8 school joined the neighboring Montessori Children’s School in the morning’s peace march and park gathering to honor the principles of humanitarianism, community, and peace— core components of the Montessori education.
