1st Grade Music Program
On April 4, MMES 1st graders performed with delightful songs and games for both our students in the morning and parents/community in the evening. Thank you to our music teacher, 1st grade teachers, special area teachers, custodial staff, and everyone else for your support!

Bobby's Thoughts
We've all heard that life isn't fair...but does that mean we shouldn't try to be fair to others? Our new character trait for April is about
Fairness
.
I've been outside on the playground and watching my friends playing together. There are both boys and girls playing basketball and some of them look like they are taking turns at shooting hoops. That seems fair to me. Then I walk over to the swing sets and see kids standing in line waiting their turn to swing. Some of the time the kids have to wait a long time for their turn to swing. That doesn't seem fair. When others are not fair it makes us feel sad, or even angry. I bet if they used kind (cotton ball) words and asked their friends to share, then it would be fair for everyone.
I love coming up to school every Thursday to see all of my friends at school. My big brother, Dakota, has to stay home with our little sister Muffin. Dakota doesn't think that's fair at all. I don't see a problem. But today instead of me getting a lot of cookies (treats) at school my mom gave me a big carrot to eat instead. She said, "The vet said you need to lose some weight". Now THAT was not fair.

Recycling at
McDowell Mountain Elementary School
Dear MMES Families,
Are you tired of wondering what to do with all those plastic bags cluttering up your kitchen cabinets and our landfills? Do you often forget to take them back to the grocery store to properly dispose of them? Well, the Student Council members here at MMES are committed to doing our share in helping to keep our planet clean. We are now offering a place right onsite, here at school in which you can leave your CLEAN recyclable plastic bags. Just send your bags in with your child and they can place it in the
large Recycling Box just inside the doors under the gym windows (not on the lobby side). Students can drop them off on their way in to school, hence taking care of those pesky bags lying around your home.
Please consider doing your share in keeping our planet clean for all future generations!
Sincerely,
Student Council Members here at MMES
