As part of our 20-year celebration for the 2020- 2021 school year, students, families, guides and alumni are sharing their Montessori story to highlight the impact of Starwood Academy of Frisco education. Ms. Maria (a retired Primary guide) was one of the very first guides to join the teaching team when the school opened 20 years ago. This is her story:
