In the magical land of Massachusetts, a place fondly known as "MA" by the locals, a unique tribe of kids known as the "Paint-splatter Pipsqueaks" live, breathe, and dream art. They are a fun-loving bunch, who, instead of building snowmen, paint murals on the snow using food color! And when it's not snowing, they chase rainbows across the sky, trying to capture all the colors for their next masterpiece. They are led by their zany, paint-splattered leader, Brushy Bob. Brushy Bob is no ordinary kid. He has an imaginary pet, a rainbow-striped squirrel named Squiggles. Squiggles has a magical bushy tail that can turn into any kind of paintbrush. With a flick of his tail, he can splash colors of joy on any canvas, or even the giant pumpkins that grow in the local farms. These kids don't just play with their paints; they dive headfirst into them. Literally! They are often found covered from head to toe in splotches of paint, looking like walking rainbows themselves. Do you know how kittens look after they've dived into a pile of yarn? That’s what our Paint-splatter Pipsqueaks look like after a day of painting. Their laughter can be heard ringing through the crisp Massachusetts air, as they embark on their color-filled adventures. It's a common sight to see the kids of MA, their faces smeared in vibrant hues, running around with their paintbrushes, making the world their canvas. Every day is a riot of colors in Massachusetts, thanks to our paint-loving Pipsqueaks and their hilarious escapades.

Fast-forward to today. I’ve been teaching classes for over 12 years and have created hundreds of mosaics. I’ve been commissioned to do public art projects and have even had my work featured in a few books. When my two young daughters were growing up in 1998, I needed an outlet for all my parental energy. I discovered plate shard art when I saw a smashed plate picture frame in a gift shop. I decided to give it a go and with a hammer as my only tool I began creating art with plate shards. I found it incredibly fulfilling and gave many of my creations away as gifts. In 2006, my sister went to Morocco and returned with beautiful pottery that was unfortunately damaged in transit. She found a mosaic class and encouraged me to join her. I fell in love with the art form and with the help of the tools she provided, I was able to start creating mosaics. Since then I have not looked back. I have been teaching and creating mosaics for more than 12 years and have had the pleasure of working on many public art projects. My work has even been featured in some books. It’s been an amazing journey and I’m excited for what the future holds.

The Christian Family Community, a small organization of progressive Catholic families in D.C., founded Christian Family Montessori School (CFMS) in 1981. The families created CFMS to provide a school for their children and their neighbors, where the teachers would treat each student with respect and equip them with the necessary academic skills. The school opened with 12 students in September 1981, meeting in the living room of Catherine and Charley Maresca. Rebekah Rojcewicz was the CFMS teacher, who had studied in Rome with Sofia Cavalletti the initiator of the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. In March 1982, CFMS moved to St. James Catholic Church in Mt. Rainier, Md. For nearly 30 years, the school provided an education for children aged 2.5 to 12 years old, adding a second Primary class and two Elementary classes along the way. CFMS continues to provide an excellent education and nurturing environment for its students. The school strives to create a community of caring individuals who respect each other and understand their connection with God. CFMS is honored to carry on the original vision of the Christian Family Community, providing an education that is both spiritually and academically enriching.
