| Principal's Message December 16, 2016 |
|
|
The holidays are here and at MMES, we have been celebrating and learning at the same time! We have also been showing the Character Counts trait of CARING to others.
On December 13, the third grade and music teacher Mrs. Clark dazzled the entire school with their production of "Santa's Shopping Network". Third graders performed in the morning for all classes and again in the evening for parents and community. There were speaking roles, solos, wonderful singing from all, and amazing accompaniment by student Milo Andree on the drums and Mrs. Clark on the piano!

MMES Falcon Leaders followed up their November peanut butter drive with a December sock drive. They collected new men's and women's socks to benefit Shoebox Ministry for the homeless in Phoenix. Falcon Leaders' goal was to collect about 382 pairs of socks to match the number of students at MMES. Well, our caring students and community donated 903 pairs of socks, more than double the goal!
Mrs. Gyger's 201 class was the top donating class with 130 pairs of socks! They will have a silly string party with counselor Mrs. Smart when we get back from winter break.
On December 15, Shoebox Ministry came to collect our school's donation and they told the Falcon Leaders that this will help so many people!
