Hi listeners! This is our seventh and final episode in season 2, and dedicated to our Head of School, Mr. Vincent. He retired at the end of the year, so this is kind of like our gift to him. We interviewed students, parents, and staff (and each other!) to find out what we liked and what we’ll miss about Mr. Vincent.  Help other people find the FCMS podcast in the iTunes store.

This week the FCMS Podcast club interviews Upper Elementary teacher Chris Deery and we learn what some of the students favorite Montessori work is.
