Memorial Memo!
News & Updates for our Little Devils Families
Week Ending 11/3/23
Dear MES Families!
We had a VERY busy week (and a late Memo!!) of Learning & Celebrating Halloween.
You can catch a glimpse of our week in the videos (a weekly snapshot, preschool, parade and Monster Ball).
November is going to go by quickly. Next week is a 4 day week.
We have our Book Fair- students will visit the book fair during their scheduled library times. Don't forget the ART SHOW on Wednesday night. The Book Fair will also be open for business!
No school on Friday to honor Veteran's Day.
The following week we will have a Kindness Spirit Week that we kick off on World Kindness Day- you can see our plan for the week so you can plan ahead!
Parent Teacher Conferences will be held November 20th & 21st. These are early release days. Teachers will be in touch to schedule those.
We are going to have an ENGINEERING day on November 22nd. This is an early release at 11:30 with NO lunch served. If you'd like to volunteer (or donate Duct Tape) please let your child's teacher or myself know!
Love,
Mrs. French

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.
