Calling next year's kindergartners!

To enroll, parents will need proof of their child's birth date (such as a birth certificate) and a signed and completed Washington state Certificate of Immunization Status form. Please note that the State of Washington requires that immunization records be medically verified.
Have your documents ready and enroll online now so that you and your child can attend kindergarten orientation in the spring.

From 4th Grade
Art On!
We are working on some AMAZING projects all over the school! In Kindergarten, artists are creating urban landscape collages. In 1st grade, artists are using texture to create monsters inspired by the book "Love Monster"! In 2nd grade, artists have been weaving rainbows on sky looms they painted. 3rd grade has been working on 3-D animal portraits using egg cartons! And 4th graders are working on a BIG project with help from our PTA; they are painting fabrics using the Batik technique, and will be sewing them into a final project like a pillow, bag, or banner! Thank you to our AWESOME PTA for helping get supplies and for offering sewing help!
Check out these photos of some of the amazing art we have in MGP! I am so proud of these artists and their creativity. ART ON!
