SUCCESS ROOTED IN A COMMUNITY OF LEARNERS
Friday, May 5, 2023
WOW! This year has really flown by. Our falcons have shown their knowledge on the Georgia Milestones Assessments, our fifth-grade falcons are preparing to transition to middle school, and we are gearing up for the BEST TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK EVER!!
Please help us celebrate our teachers for ALL they do to teach, support, prepare, lead, and love our students each and every day!
As we wind down the year, we are also excited about our last day of school FAMILY PICNIC! We invite you to join us in celebrating a successful school year. Please review the schedule, linked here, so you're aware of the time your child's class will be on the lower field.
See you then!
Have a great weekend!

Teacher Appreciation Week is May 8th-12th
Before the 2022-2023 year ends we would love to celebrate our teachers for their dedication and support in helping our students grow this year. Teacher Appreciation Week this school year will be observed May 8th - 12th. This is something Mulberry takes pride in!! We love our teachers and we love to shower them with love for a week. In addition to celebrating each classroom teacher, we are encouraging each grade this year to adopt a Specials teacher to celebrate.
K - Specials teacher of your choice
1st - Ms. Franz/Ms. Cruz MEDIA CENTER
2nd - Ms. Groshek ART
3rd - Mr. Moon PE
4th - Ms. Speed COMPUTER
5th - Mr. Lele MUSIC
Please, please, please do not forget other teachers that your child may have during the day - Gifted, ESOL, SPED, etc. They teach your children, work with them and know them well. Let's be sure to show them some appreciation too. Let's give our MES teachers an Appreciation Week to remember!
Media Center News
All library books are due by Friday, May 12th! Emails will go out to families if student accounts reflect a book is currently checked out or overdue. Replacement costs for lost or damaged books are $5 for a paperback and $15 for a hardback book. Please help your child(ren) locate and return their books!
May reading logs are available! If your child(ren) fills out the reading log and returns the log to the media center, they get to choose a free book! April logs focused on poetry and I wanted to highlight a few of the poems turned in.
Kyle in 1st grade wrote an acrostic poem:
Sun
Pretty
Rain
Insects
New
Grow
Zoey in 2nd grade wrote a haiku:
Pink clouds of sweetness
Cotton candy yummy yum

Be on the look out for a summer reading list and challenge coming out soon!
