Dear MES Families,
We are fast approaching our Thanksgiving break. It is hard to believe how quickly the year
has gone by!
Our S.A.I.L program is going so well! Students have earned almost 300 books! Thank you so much for your support!
Have a great weekend!
Stephanie
The Scholastic Book Fair is fast approaching. MES will host the Book Fair December 1 - 5. Students will be able to browse AND shop during their fixed library time. A flyer will be sent home in the coming weeks.
The Book Fair will also be open during the Winter Arts Festival on December 4th. Don't forget that sales tax will be collected on purchases made at the fair. For more information or questions about the MES Book Fair, contact Nancy Price.
If you are interested in volunteering for the book fair, you can sign up here. You will need to fill out an MVCSC Background Check Form prior to volunteering. If you have already filled one out this school year, you do not have to do it again.

Congratulations to our October Students of the Month!
Great job to you all!

The McCordsville Police Department is excited to announce our annual Holiday with Heroes event! This special program pairs local first responders with families who could use a little extra help this season. Together, they’ll be shopping at Meijer—picking out both necessities and a few fun holiday wishes.
If your family could benefit from this program—or if you know a family who could—please scan the QR code on the attached flyer to register each child.
Let’s make this holiday season brighter, together!

We will complete our hearing screenings at McCordsville on 11/10/25. We are required to screen all students in grades K, 1, and 4. We will also be screening any new to the Mt. Vernon district students.
Please remember to send your child in with a water and snack daily. We have limited supply and won't always have spare snacks.
Our lost and found is building up quickly. Please come and take a look if your child is missing anything.
Thank you!
