Mrs. Robbert's Kindergarten class found words hung throughout the commons so they could "write the room". The words were differentiated based on the skill the student was learning. Clipboards in hand, they got right to work!

The second grades classes recently ended their March Madness activity: “Tournament of Books”! They read 16 books in March and voted for their favorites. The winner this year was “Tikki Tikki Tembo”!

Mrs. Arduino’s 1st grade class is trying to hatch chicks with their good behavior! 🐣 To keep their egg warm, students need to make sure they sit on their bottoms and push in their chairs.  1st graders are hopeful their eggs will hatch with good behavior today!

1st graders recently created time capsules they’ll open their senior year of high school: March 2033! Students wrote about their future career & favorite things & included a message to their future self. Parents sent pictures & a favorite toy to include in the time capsule!

Check out these creative monsters our 2nd grade friends created! What a fun way to practice what students have been learning in math!

Congratulations to the MES Star Award winners for March! 🥳

Happy Assistant Principal Week to our wonderful assistant principals! We are so thankful for their commitment to excellence each and every day. Their dedication and hard work are what makes our schools great!
