Name The Garden Contest:
Our new School Learning Garden is located on the 3-5 playground right outside the cafeteria doors! Students in grades 3-5 can visit during their recess time and K-2 teachers can take a moment immediately before or after lunch to take their class to go take a peak. The winner will be featured in next years yearbook!!
Have fun visiting the garden and submitting your contest ideas!
Go Play Save Fundraiser:
The 2014 Go Play Save coupon book fundraiser begins on Wednesday, 7/23 for Tracks 1, 2 and 3. This is a great fundraiser for MCES as 50% of the book sales are returned to the school. Coupon books will be sent home with your child along with selling instructions and a collection envelope. This year we have two book options - the traditional paper book or a mobile version! As an added bonus, purchasers will also be able to order and pay for books online. Be sure to check your child's bag on Wednesday for your book and detailed instructions.
The GPS committee could use a few more volunteers to help distribute books to classrooms on Wednesday, 7/23 at 8:30. Please sign up here to help (we'll have coffee & bagels!): http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0d49ada82ea75-goplay
School Store: Opens Tuesday July 22, 2014
Thursdays: 3-5 kids welcome from 8:00-8:25am
The school store sells little pencils, erasers, fun little school items for kids to purchase - prices range from $0.10 - $2.00, so kids can easily afford to buy something even with a little bit of pocket change. It is located at the end of the main hallway, adjacent to the 2nd grade hallway.
Tea & Tissues : A Special Event for Kindergarten Parents (track4)
Tea and Tissues - Track 4
The PTA will be hosting a new and special event for Kindergarten parents on Monday, August 4th for Track 4. Parents will enjoy a light breakfast in the Media Center and have the opportunity to meet new parents and learn about MCES and the PTA. Please sign up for an item you can donate to help us make this event a success! All food/drink items will need to be dropped off by 8am on August 4th because the event starts at 8:15am after parents drop off their child in the classroom.
If you are interested in volunteering at the event or have any questions, please contact Allyson Arp (allyarp76@hotmail.com) or LisBeth Fillard (lfillard@wcpss.net).
