"Hi, my name is Riley. I attended Children's House Montessori for six years and graduated from the 3rd

grade in 2007. I am currently attending a public school (where I am proudly receiving straight A's) and

preparing for middle school in the Fall. I am involved in children's theater and have been a part of 7

different shows (over 40 performances) with them over the last 4 years. Theater is my life and I owe

Ms. Ranga a thank you for introducing me to how wonderful drama and the stage can be. I write all of

the time and won the 4th grade Young Author's Award. Last year, as well as this year, I am a Class

Senator representing my friends at school meetings. We have helped to create a safety video and made

valentines for Veterans. It is a lot of fun. When I grow up, I hope to be an actress, dolphin trainer,

or pre-school Montessori teacher working alongside my mom."

My name is Daniel Thomas. I went to CHMS from age 3 to 3rd grade. I had an great experience and

thanks to the amazing dedication of my teachers, I currently excel in my classes today. I'm in 7th grade

and attend Haven Middle School in Evanston. Math is my favorite subject and I'm in a ninth grade math

class. I also was accepted into a nationwide group called People to People, Student Ambassadors. Two

summers ago, I joined this group on a 3 week trip to Alaska where we studied glaciers, the Alaskan

pipeline and the Inuit people. This year I attended the Presidential Inauguration with the same People to

People group. We spent 5 days touring Washington DC and its historical monuments as well as attending

speeches by Mary Jean Eisenhower (descendant of Dwight D. Eisenhower) and a reporter who covers all the

presidential inaugurations from U.S. News and World Report. I also love playing soccer and have been

playing for over 6 years. I am currently on FC Chicago's travel team and enjoying it very much.

The teachers at CHMS have taught me the skills that I use to succeed academically. Mrs. Ranga you ROCK!

My goal is to attend Harvard someday and with my CHMS training, that goal can be achieved.
