A+ School of Excellence
™ Celebrations
MMES celeb
rated its A+ School of Excellence
™
award in the afternoon of Monday, May 6 with Karen Brown from Arizona Educational Foundation presenting us with our official banner. Distinguished guests included Maricopa County Superintendent of Schools, Steve Watson and the FHHS band, cheerleaders, and Falcon mascot performed.
Afterward we went to the field for drone photos of staff, students, parents, and community members wearing blue and forming the shape of an A+. Drone photographer, Rick McNeill volunteered his services, taking hundreds of photos and using them to make a time lapse video that we have posted on our Facebook page.
We will have more photos soon as two EVIT student photographers,
Evyn Lappe and Amber Olivios took many photos of all the exciting events: presentation of our banner, FHHS band and cheer performances, and everyone showing their spirit!
One more celebration was on May 15 at the FHUSD Governing Board meeting with the Board, Dr. Allen, and many of our staff coming together for a photo with our banner! Thank you for the support of our Board, district staff, and community!

Top Terrific Kids for 2018-2019
At the end of each school year, the Noon Kiwanis Club honors K-5 students
from the local schools including two students from MMES. We always choose two second graders for this Top Terrific Kids award and to their delight,
Kiwanis presents them with bikes and helmets!
On May 16, MMES second graders, Karma Coffman and Hiram Nephi, received this special award at the Noon Kiwanis meeting.
Karma and Hiram demonstrate all the traits that make TERRIFIC kids: Thoughtful, Enthusiastic, Responsible, Respectful, Inclusive, Friendly, Inquisitive, and Capable.
Congratulations, Karma and Hiram!
