| Principal's Message November 18, 2016 |
|
|
MMES falcons care about our veterans! On the afternoon of November 10, we honored and thanked our veterans with a Veterans' Day assembly. Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts started the assembly with the color guard/flag ceremony. We cited the Pledge and Allegiance and sang the National Anthem.
The music continued with 3rd graders singing "America the Beautiful" accompanied by music teacher Mrs. Clark on the piano.
Next Student Council presented on the history and protocols of the U.S. flag. They showed all of us how to properly fold the flag.
|
| Another focus of our assembly was the Character Counts trait of Caring. The Falcon Leaders shared their ideas about what Caring is. The last Falcon Leader to present explained how we should care for our veterans. Then the Falcon Leaders announced their November community service project to collect peanut butter to benefit our local food bank Extended Hands. Please help us by bringing a jar of peanut butter to school no later than Wednesday, November 23.

The caring focus continued with counselor Mrs. Smart and principal Mrs. D. announcing one winner from each class for the Caring award. Pictured below are Madison Scribner, Kyndal Moss, Jayden Swain, Cameron Gibb, Nolan Sampson, Ramon Careaga Jr., Rylee Olsen, Brody Skouson, Tyler Giardina, Stella Buck, Presley Guerrero, Natalie Gurrette, and Dylan Tobias. Caring award winners not pictured are Adalee Handy, Vivianna Ianello, and Zayden Smith-Miller.
|
| The assembly ended with our veterans coming up to the front for all of us to honor and thank them. This was followed by the closing color guard/flag ceremony. 
We greatly appreciate all of the veterans who came to our assembly and all others who have served our country in the armed forces! |
