Parent/Teacher Connection Day







News from the Library



As you know, students visit the MES Library once a week to check out books. Make sure to ask your child what he/she is reading, and incorporate reading as part of your routine. Children thrive in predictable environments, and daily reading time creates the consistency and sense of stability that children need. Enjoy some time reading this weekend!
