MES Families,
We hope that you can attend our picnic around the playground tonight from 5-7! Due to a very muddy playground, we will be moving our event into the cafeteria and gym.
It is always a lot of fun with games, prizes and some food vendors!
The front doors will open at 5PM.
We hope to see you there!
Next week signals the end of Q1. There is no school from October 12-16. Report cards will be digitally available on Friday, October 23.
Have a great weekend!
Stephanie
This week our library was transformed into a stellar learning space as Mrs. Fager took all our students on a journey through the universe in the Digitarium! During library class, students had the opportunity to explore stars and planets in a captivating and immersive environment. Do you know which planet has the most rings? You may be surprised that it is NOT Saturn! Ask your student about what they learned this week in the Digitarium!
Thank you, Mrs. Fager, for making learning about space such an out-of-this-world adventure!

Congratulations to our Students of the Month for September. Well done everyone!

Good afternoon!
