MCES PTO Presents Penguin Patch
MCES PTO is offering a Christmas store for all MCES students to participate in during a special time of the year. The goal of this store is for students to be able to purchase Christmas gifts for family members without them knowing about it. The students will shop and wrap the gifts at school.
Students will bring home the flyer and envelope (pictured below) December 13/14. Please send the completed envelope and money to school. Students will shop beginning on Wednesday, December 15th during the school day.
