Important Arrival Information
Thank you for your cooperation.
A Message From Principal Dolan
Hello MPE Families,
Thank you for all the thanksgiving wishes and kinds words over the past few days! Those notes of appreciation to your teachers go a long way.
Please be sure to send your child to school with gloves, a coat and a hat. Children go outside to play, exercise and take mask breaks. We plan to have recess outside as long as the weather is favorable.
The student council is holding a food drive in December. Each grade is asked to bring an item. The flyer is attached to this email. We are planning to donate the LNHN (Livingston Neighbors Helping Neighbors.) See the attachment.
Thank you for working with your children to remind them to be upstanders. We are reminding children every day to include others, use kind words and practice empathy.
I am looking forward to our next community meeting and general PTA meeting on December 15th.
Have a great weekend!!
All my best,
Lorena Dolan
From the MPE Student Council
In the month of December we will be collecting food items for the Livingston Neighbors Helping Neighbors pantry. See the flyer attached.

Feel free to reach out to Miss Galluzzo at 973-535-8000 x6900 or dgalluzzo@livingston.org if you would like to talk to the school counselor.
Ordering Lunch
I recommend that you talk to your children about the lunches you are ordering for them to ensure that they like the selection before you order it.
The lunch form opens weekly on Sunday at 5 pm. Please order a week in advance.
