In Celebration of Halloween and Red Ribbon Week!

New Hire!

Dear Parents and Students:

I am pleased, excited, and happy to announce some added support for our afternoon 5/6 split class! MES has hired Patricia Stewart as an afternoon split teacher! Mrs. Stewart will be teaching science, social studies, working with intervention groups in math and literacy, and helping Mr. Barnes and Mr. H with P.E. We are so fortunate to provide the students with this needed support! She will be an asset to our grade level team, and provide relief where there has been a high student/teacher ratio. I invite you to welcome her with enthusiasm and appreciation. Mrs. Stewart's targeted start date is Wednesday, Oct. 30. We look forward to having her at MES!

FYI!
