Week #35- May 5, 2025
This week is Teacher Appreciation Week across the country. MES is fortunate to have a collection of dedicated and caring teachers and staff members working every day to help students find success. In coordination with the very hard-working MES PTO, a week of recognition and acts of kindness is planned. Many of you will be part of supporting that effort. Thank you for supporting MES in this manner!
Even if you are unable to support the recognition efforts planned by the PTO, I encourage you to take a few minutes to send a note, an email or share a brief thank you note with teachers and staff members. Grade level teachers, Specials teachers, instructional assistants, and support staff are deserving of all the love and appreciation we can show.
I greatly appreciate the way that the MES community comes together to support students and the school.
Thank you for all you do!!
Have a great week!

Attendance Tip: Balancing busy Spring schedules for many families, mine included, is a challenge. Establishing some consistency is difficult at times, but it is important. A family calendar, physical or electronic, might be helpful in reducing event/scheduling stress.
