MES Family Update- Week #8
MES finished off the week with a “Rock Your School” day! Students and staff enjoyed fun activities on and off throughout the day. Many students and staff participated by dressing in their rock-n-roll or concert attire. Check out the photos and videos on the MES Facebook page.
MES 4th grade students are raising money to offset the cost of the Jamestown field trip this year. Sandwiches from Turner Hams, locally prepared at Fulk's Run Grocery, will be delivered to the school on Thursday, October 22. Use the link to the Sandwich order form and feel free to share with as many as possible!
