Legacy & Leadership:
A Celebration of Transition, Tradition, and Gratitude
As our school turns an exciting page, we invite alumni families and faculty, current parents and faculty, and friends of Escuela to come together for a meaningful moment in our shared journey. We’ll honor the rich legacy of Escuela de Montessori and Escuela Plus Elementary, founded and masterfully led by Dr. Sandra Roussell for over 50 years, and warmly welcome our new Head of School, Christiane (Chrissy) Roussell Willis, Esq.
This special event is a chance to reconnect with familiar faces, celebrate the vibrant community that defines us, and raise a glass to the future as we prepare for a new chapter in a new home.
