A message from the Principal


Dear MES Families,

We are now in the busy season for events. Please watch out for notices for events. Some may be in person and/or virtual. Our lost and found is growing again! Feel free to come in and check for student items. All items left at the end of the school year will be donated.

Have a great weekend!

News from the Library



The votes are in! Our Tournament of Books started with 16 popular titles from the Indiana Young Hoosier list for this year. After many weeks of voting, the students have chosen Flat Cat by Tara Lazar as their number one choice! 







MES Field Day 2026


Dear Parents and Guardians,


We are looking forward to our annual Field Day on Tuesday, May 26th! This is always a highlight of the year for our students, filled with fun activities, teamwork, and lots of excitement.


To help make the day a success, we are in need of volunteers to assist with our activity stations. We will have 12 stations, and we are hoping to have 3 volunteers per station to help run games, guide students, and keep everything running smoothly.


Field Day Schedule:

Kindergarten & 1st Grade: 8:00 – 9:45 AM
4th Grade: 10:00 – 11:45 AM
2nd & 3rd Grade: 12:20 – 1:50 PM

A SignUpGenius link is below, where you can choose a time slot and station that works best for you. You are welcome to sign up for one or more sessions.


In the event of rain, Field Day will be moved indoors to the gym. We will still need volunteers, though the schedule and activities may be modified.


We truly appreciate your support in making this a fun and memorable experience for all of our students. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.


Thank you for your time and support!


Sincerely,
Josh Welch - Physical Education Teacher
