Dear MES Families,
Thank you so much for the support with the Major Saver fundraiser for the Mt. Vernon Education Foundation! Remember the sale was extended through Sunday if you still wish to purchase!
Speaking of fundraisers: Our new school signs (interior) will be installed next week. Not only will all staff receive a new sign for their class, but our students will see S.A.I.L signs in the hallways to help support positive behavior. This initiative is supported via our fall fun run!
At this time we have been able to pass out over 500 books for students that have earned 10 doubloons! Our wonderful PTO has committed funds to support the book vending machine for the foreseeable future!
Thanks again for all of your support of our wonderful school!
Stephanie
“Black History Month is an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing their central role in U.S. history. Since 1976, every U.S. president has officially designated the month of February as Black History Month. Other countries around the world, including Canada and the United Kingdom, also devote a month to celebrating Black history.” www.history.com
Here are some of our favorite biographies honoring the achievements of African Americans that are available in the library.

The school corporation intends to seek board approval to purchase the resources at the March 9, 2026, school board meeting.
The committee is recommending Savvas Learning’s social studies textbooks for 5th grade, 7th grade Social Studies courses, and HS courses consisting of US History, World History, Econ., and History and Geography of the World. The committee recommends BFW Publishing’s textbook for AP Psychology. The FACS (Family and Consumer Science) department is recommending the G-W Publishers textbook for the new IDOE course Fundamentals of Human Services.
