Principal's Note...
We need your help! Here are a couple of items where we could really use all of you to rally for us!
On November 1st, we will be hosting our second School Building Committee Community Meeting. It will take place in the auditorium at MMES at 9AM and again at 7PM. We need folks to get involved in the process through these meetings to share their ideas, questions, and concerns. The more ideas that are shared and questions asked by parents and community members, the better the potential final product will be! We are starting to be able to answer some of your questions such as "where will it be built?" and "what will it look like?" Please reach out to a friend or neighbor and bring them along with you even if they don't have children at MMES currently! Hope to see you all there!
We are currently searching to bolster our substitute pool for the 17-18 school year. Many of our favorite substitutes have gotten full-time jobs recently (hooray for them), and we need to "restock our bullpen." Do you know someone locally who has experience working with children in a school setting? Please have them email Mrs. Dodge directly at dodgec@mersd.org and we can take them through the application and screening process. Thanks so much in advance!
Have a great weekend!
Best,
John

Kindergarteners through High School seniors from Manchester and Essex are invited to audition as well as parents, teachers, and all talented members of the Manchester and Essex community! Adults can perform with their children or alone. The organization is also auditioning for the Master of Ceremonies, which is open to one or more High School age students.
There are two audition dates from which to choose:
Tuesday, October 17 from 4:00-7:00pm or Saturday, October 21 from 9:00 -11:00am
To register for an audition visit: spauldingeducationfund.org.
The “Night of Stars Talent Show” is Spaulding Education Fund's largest fundraising initiative of the year, raising the vital funds needed to support their mission of advancing educational excellence in the Manchester Essex regional schools.
