Montessori Life Wins Distinguished Achievement Award
On June 6, 2008, at a ceremony in Washington, DC, AMS’s quarterly magazine, Montessori Life, was honored with an Association of Educational Publishers (AEP) award, recognizing the best in educational materials. The journal was granted the Distinguished Achievement Award for Excellence in Educational Publishing, for volume 19, number 1, celebrating the Montessori centennial.
Doris Sommer, AMS senior director of teacher education, accepted the accolade at the 2008 AEP Annual Awards Banquet and Gala, in front of a crowd of 300, on behalf of AMS and the Montessori Life team: editors Kathy Carey and Carey Jones, designers Ross Rezac and Martin Skoro of MartinRoss Design, and copy editor Brenda Modliszewski.
AMS was in excellent company. Also accepting awards in the Periodicals category were Highlights for Children Inc., the National Geographic Society, the National Wildlife Federation, New York Times Upfront, Southern Poverty Law Center, and Wall Street Journal Classroom Edition, among others.
