Memorial Memo!
News & Updates for our Little Devils Families
Week Ending 12/1/23
Dear MES Families!
I can't believe it's already December! We are excited for all of the fun and learning we will have this month. Our students are practicing for the winter concert and are excited to entertain you! Check back next Friday when we confirm the location for our grades 1 & 2 concerts.
Please help us keep our students safe. Do not hold doors open for others- please let the check in at the office to get buzzed in.
Please do NOT pass busses or vans if they have their flashing red lights on. This means that students are either loading or unloading and it is illegal (and unsafe) to pass even if they are stopped in the parking lot.
Please do NOT drive in front of the school when the busses/vans are their for loading or unloading.
We are also excited to have students help us choose our next Mascot! Stay tuned...
Love,
Mrs. French
Reading Volunteers Needed!!!
We are looking for volunteers to come in and read with our students.
Do you (or someone you know) have an hour or more a week that you could dedicate to helping our students improve their reading skills? We'd love to have you. We have several classrooms that are looking for volunteers to support their young learners.
Feel free to email Mrs. French if you're interested.

Notes from Nurse Mona
Students sometimes get messy and wet while playing hard at school. Please be prepared by having an extra set of clothes in a bag in the bottom of your child's backpack. This is will make it easy to find them in the event we need them for your child.
