A former music teacher at J.J. Hill Montessori once wryly commented, "I don't have a Masters degree in prep."
He
was referring to the misperception that Spanish, Music, and Physical
Education play a secondary role in your child's education simply
because they are part of a system which allows teachers to have fifty
minutes of lesson preparation time during the school day.
At
J.J. Hill we are proud of the professionalism and skill of our
specialists: Holly Souza in Physical Education; Bedrich V. Rios in
Spanish; Phill Fried in Music. We also include our E.L.L. (English
Language Learner) teachers in this description: Karla Johnson and Randa
Ferreira.
