Dear Families:
It was wonderful to see many so many families at the Night of Excellence this week. I am so glad many of you were able to join us. Thank you to Adam's Mountain Cafe for making our dinner so special and everyone throughout the school, district and community who contributed to this magical night. Proceeds benefit our talented special education team who planned and executed the entire event.
Next week is Teacher Appreciation Week. Join PAC, Parent Action Committee, in celebrating our teachers next week. There is a schedule of events below that includes bringing a special treat or message for your child's teacher. Student notes and drawings make such a difference to our educators.
May is upon us and we have so many upcoming events. Please join us at MSES and throughout the district for several scheduled events like World Culture Night, Field Day, Movie Night and more!
Have a terrific weekend.
Warmly,
Maria

Teacher Appreciation Week - Celebrate your Teacher!
Kindergarten: Ask Your Expert!
In kindergarten, we finished up a three week domain where we learned lots of different ways that we can help protect our Earth. This past week we focused on Endangered Animals and got to go to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo to help bring our learning to life.
What does it mean if an animal is endangered? (There are not a lot of this species left). What does it mean if a species is extinct? (There are no more animals of this species that are alive). What are the names of some of the endangered animals we have learned about? (Pandas, Rhinos, African Elephant, Mountain Lion, Gray Wolf, Polar Bear, Green Sea Turtle, Snow Leopard, Bengal Tiger, Tree Kangaroo). Why are some reasons these animals are endangered? (Humans hunt them and humans cut down their habitats and take away their food and shelter). What was your favorite part of our trip to the zoo? (Answers will vary).2nd Grade: Ask Your Expert!
