MPES Cougar of the Month - September
We are excited to recognize all of the recipients of the Cougar of the Month award for the month of September! The MPES Cougar of the Month Award is not based solely on academics, but also on qualities such as a Pawsitive attitude, character, leadership, and citizenship. The Cougar of the Month must be a hard-working student in class; completing his/her assignments on time, as well as participating in classroom discussions. Students who are nominated for Cougar of the Month shall demonstrate excellent behavior in and out of the classroom, as well as respect both peers and teachers. MPES Cougar of the Month recipients also display the 6 pillars of character; trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship. Congratulations to all of our September Cougar of the Month students!

Redskins Read!
We are happy to announce that the Washington Redskins Charitable Foundation has selected fourth and fifth-grade students at MPES to become reading champions! In an effort to make reading more fun for elementary students, the Redskins Charitable Foundation created the Redskins Read Program focusing on a playbook for students to study the Xs and Os of reading! The Redskins Read Playbook provides monthly prompts for students to analyze a book(s) of their choice, focusing on different areas of the story (e.g. characters, setting, plot). This reading program motivates 4th and 5th grade students by providing monthly prizes and the chance to host a Redskins event with current players at their school in the spring! Each month one class will be selected to receive the Redskins Read football trophy to display in their classroom for that month. The program runs from September – March. Look for updates about our reading throughout the school year!
