Food Bank
Dr. Lind contacted the Northern Illinois Food Bank for grocery delivery. This week Monday, 8 staff members worked to unload the pallets of food, organize, and pack two bags of groceries for any families needed them.
These groceries were offered to all families that took advantage of the breakfast and lunch grab and go meals being offered this week.
Read to Succeed
The Six Flags Read to Succeed program is still in full swing! Any reading your MES student does at home will count towards earning a FREE ticket to Great America this summer. Students who participate must read a minimum of 6 hours, and are able to earn bonus rewards and coupons to use at the park if they read more than 6 hours. Simply go to sixflags.com/books and set up your child's account by entering his/her teacher's unique code. All minutes/hours will need to be entered by April 17th. Six Flags will then email the free ticket directly to parents in May. If you have any questions, please contact your child's homeroom teacher or Renee Marasco at rmarasco@millburn24.net.
