June 14, 2021—The American Montessori Society office will be closed on Friday, June 18, in recognition of Juneteenth (June 19). This intentional time will support staff members in their continual education, reflection, and self-development in matters related to race, social justice, and respect for all cultures. We support Black lives and are committed to ending systemic racism. Together, we can build a more just, fair, and equitable world.
