Celebrating 25 Years of Community & Learning
Every family, every classroom, every friendship has helped shape MVM. As we look ahead to our 25th anniversary, we’re bringing together the stories of the people who have made this school a community. Whether you were here at the beginning or have just found your place here, you’re part of our story.
Explore our shared history
Small keepsakes. A shared history.
Opening the box of MVM memories
Our history lives in photographs, handwritten notes, and the memories we carry. We’re beginning to gather these pieces for our 25th anniversary. Here’s a look at where the project starts.
Faces through the years
We’re working to gather past yearbooks and reconnect with former families. Help us remember the classmates, teachers, and friendships that made your years at MVM special.
A welcome to Frederick
Among the keepsakes is the original certificate welcoming MVM to Frederick, signed by Mayor Jennifer Dougherty—a piece of our school’s beginnings.
Treasures from the school archives
Newspaper clippings, old photographs, and memorabilia saved in Principal Nancy’s office are a starting point for discovering and preserving our shared history.
Coming soon · Alumni & family connections
The next chapter starts with you
Once part of MVM, always part of our story
Former students, parents, caregivers, and staff: we’d love to reconnect. A way to join the anniversary and alumni network will be added here as the project takes shape.
Your memories belong here
A favorite classroom moment. A friendship that lasted. A photograph from Dill Avenue. Start thinking about the stories and pictures you’d like to share—we’ll post instructions here when submissions open.
Sign-ups and photo submissions are not open yet. Please check back for details.
Looking ahead, together
Our mission carries us forward
MVMPCS is a small, intimate, and democratic learning community where children learn actively, think critically, and solve problems creatively. Students’ innate desire to learn is fostered using the Montessori approach: a prepared environment, hands-on materials, mixed-age classes, and self-directed learning. Students are empowered to become responsible, confident, caring citizens who possess strong academic skills and an enduring love of learning.
