Over the past month, RHMS students have been hard at work creating their very first French musical production. From designing and storyboarding to singing and filming, students embraced every aspect of the creative process while collaborating with their classmates.

Each class contributed unique ideas for posters, costumes, and props, bringing their productions to life in imaginative and meaningful ways. This project showcases not only the students’ creativity and teamwork, but also their growing confidence and understanding of the French language.

Through their songs and performances, students invited audiences to experience the charm and excitement of strolling along the beautiful avenues of the Champs Élysées in France. #RHMS #richmondhill #privateschool #montessori #elementary #french #language #ChampsÉlysées #teamwork #video #collaboration

The RHMS Robotics Team recently competed at the Skills Ontario Competition, where they proudly placed 5th overall out of 20 competing teams. Students participated in the exciting VEX IQ Mix and Match challenge, where teams were required to design, build, and program a robot to compete against other teams for the highest scores.

In addition to the driver-controlled competition, students also created a fully autonomous version of their robot that could complete tasks independently without the use of a controller or driver. This required strong problem-solving, coding, teamwork, and engineering skills.

Congratulations to our talented RHMS Robotics Team for their outstanding achievement at Skills Ontario. We are incredibly proud of their dedication and success! #RHMS #richmondhill #montessori #elementary #ontarioskills #robotics #stem #competition #VEXIQ

The RHMS Eco Club organized the RHMS Book Exchange for students in Grades 3 to 6. In preparation for the event, Eco Club members promoted the initiative throughout the school with the slogan, “Leave a book, take a book,” encouraging students to donate gently used books and discover new stories to enjoy.

The Book Exchange was a wonderful opportunity for students to share their love of reading while learning about the importance of sustainability and reducing waste. By giving books a second life, students helped keep books out of landfills and ensured they could find a new home with another reader in our school community. The event was filled with excitement as students explored different genres, exchanged favourite titles, and discovered new authors. Their efforts helped promote environmental responsibility while bringing everyone together through the joy of reading. #RHMS #richmondhill #privateschool #elementary #montessori #bookexchange #ecoclub #STEM #reading #language #community #reducingwaste #landfill #sustainability #environment #donation #stories

RHMS Montessori students celebrated Earth Day by spending time outdoors enjoying the Spring weather. Wearing green to show their love for the planet, they took part in a fun scavenger hunt. The children searched for things like grass, trees, and rocks, taking their time to notice the small details of nature and share their discoveries with friends.

Back in the classroom, the students created simple artwork. Using colours, shapes, and natural materials, they made pictures that showed their connection to the Earth. It was a joyful and meaningful way to celebrate and learn about caring for the environment. #RHMS #richmondhill #privateschool #montessori #elementary #earthday #children #students #school #planet #green #nature #discovery #art #environment
