Mona-J. Eremondi (she, her, hers) is our casa two director/teacher, assisted by Venus Dirin.  She worked at Allegro Montessori School for the first time in 1990.  This time Mona has been working with us since 1999.  Mona brings her curiosity and thirst for knowledge to school with her every day.  It rubs off on both children and staff.
