Memorial Memo!
News & Updates for our Little Devils Families
Week Ending January 12, 2024
Dear MES Families!
We've had a wonderful week of learning and exploring.
Our students LOVED the snow at the beginning of the week. They were able to sled and preschool even brought snow inside!
Second grade conducted experiments to learn more about matter.
We had height, weight, vision and hearing screenings as well as the dentist.
It certainly was a busy week but we enjoyed every minute of it.
Students also learned about Martin Luther King Jr.. Ask them about MLK and why we have the day off to recognize him on Monday.
Enjoy your long weekend. Stay dry and warm,
Mrs. French

Bundle Up ❄️
Winter Weather is here and it looks like snow ❄️in the forecast for this weekend.
This is a reminder to send in warm outdoor gear with your student. We got out to recess every day that we can. Students that have boots, snow pants and mittens will be able to play in the snow on the playground.
Students know they need 5 to go! (hat, jacket, mittens, snow pants, boots)
Nurse Mona has some extra's available if your student needs them. Please reach out to her.
Nurse Mona also provides hats/mittens for students that may have forgotten them. These are then there's to keep.

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.
