Please see the important announcement from our PTO!
Don't forget, tomorrow is the last day to RSVP for Grandparents' Day Lunch! We must have your RSVP in order for you to buy a lunch and eat with your grandchildren on November 18. We will have to stick to this deadline in order to ensure we have enough food for everyone!
Check out what's happening at MES! Have a great weekend!
Good afternoon!
We're excited to invite grandparents to our school on November 18 for Thanksgiving Lunch with your grandchildren. The cost is $6 for each adult planning to eat. Be prepared to pay when you get your meal with the correct change so the lines move faster. Arrive about 10 minutes before your child's lunchtime. Don't forget our school has a clear bag policy and it will be enforced. Adhere to the strict deadline to RSVP by Tuesday, November 10, using the form on the flyer so the cafeteria can prepare enough food. Only those who send in their RSVP by the deadline will be allowed to get a meal.
We look forward to seeing you soon!

Good afternoon!
Our MES students are the best! Our 4th- and 5th-graders campaigned for Student Council. Many students have been setting goals to help them be better learners. GT music auditions were today. Some students were challenged with an escape room and engaged in problem-solving skills! Second graders completed their CoGat and Iowa Testing.
Coming up next week:
We will be celebrating Red Ribbon Week. Please see the attached flyer where students can dress up on Friday, October 30 as superheroes! We will also have an Assembly presented by Cornerstone on Tuesday.
Also on Friday, we hope you can come out to our PTO sponsored Trunk or Treat Event! See the flyer for more details.
We are growing great minds and leaders at MES!

If you are interested in joining the PTO, please reach out to the school for more information.
