Leah Nashel ’12

My fondest memory of FWM was participating in school plays throughout the years. I especially loved “Immersion Week” because we got to dedicate all of our time towards putting on a play. My favorite roles were Rosalind in As You Like It and Puck in A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

Attending a Montessori school has helped me to be an independent thinker and to focus on the fields that interest me. I think the ability to learn at my own pace has allowed me to continuously appreciate learning.
