McCormick Elementary School

Let's celebrate all of our loved ones who are breast cancer survivors. MES students are allowed to wear pink every day next week as long as their clothing is still within our regular dress code. For example, but not limited to, they cannot wear leggings, jeggings, inappropriate length clothing, etc. You must wear regular uniforms unless you are wearing pink. On Friday, October 24, you can still wear pink and your boots to celebrate homecoming!

Have a great weekend! Be sure to check out the wonderful opportunities happening at MES next week.

Good afternoon, Parents and Guardians,
We have some wonderful opportunities for you and for students this week.

The fall sports camp hosted by the MHS Student-Athlete Advisory Council is still open for registration.

Being a teammate takes commitment and effort. In Jon Gordon's book, "Hard Hat", there are 21 ways to be a great teammate. These two staff members were chosen by their peers to be this week's "Hard Hat Award" recipients. They have been amazing teammates. They give their all and take nothing; they do things for their team, not for applause, and they are always doing things for others because they know that well done is better than well said.

One of Ms. Allen's teammates said, "She is a great teammate. She pursues excellence by giving 110% as we collaborate and teach together. She is very resourceful and committed to our students in our Science Lab classes. It is a pleasure to be a member of the Science team, where Ms. Allen demonstrates selfless compassion for everyone."

Mrs. Brighthop's teammate said, "She is always willing to help or get answers anytime you ask or need her to. She works quickly and does it was a smile on her face! Thank you, Mrs. Brighthop!"

Good afternoon,
We hope you all had a great weekend. Notice the upcoming events at MES. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the school.

Good evening,
We have had a great week at MES. Don't forget tomorrow is a Teacher Work Day. Students do not attend school. We look forward to seeing everyone on Monday, August 18! Enjoy your long weekend!
