Boosterthon
If you haven't registered yet, please take a minute to register at mybooster.com .
We are working hard to raise money for school improvement projects. If we meet our goal of $15,000 as a school, we get to have a water balloon fight with the admin team! Every donation helps. Thank you for your support of MCES! We couldn't do it without you.
Map Testing
We will begin our end of year Map testing Tuesday, April 16th. Students have set goals for themselves and have reflected on the steps they need to take to reach those goals. If your child reaches their map growth goals, they will be able to go to the KONA ICE truck on April 30th! Please ensure your child is at school and on time each day next week for testing. You can also help out by reminding them to take their time, show their work and check their answers. We cannot wait to celebrate their progress with Kona Ice and at our awards day!

Aquarium - Field Trip
Thank you sooooo much to the chaperones on the field trip! We couldn't have done it without you. We all had a great time, and I hope your child came home to tell you about all the cool animals they saw.
LAST CHANCE!
The last day to purchase our 23-24 MCES Yearbook is today at midnight (2-23-24).
Field Trip Reminders
Here are a few reminders for our field trip on Wednesday:
Please have your child wear tennis shoes and a light jacket.
If your child brings a lunch from home, it needs to all be disposable.
Please send a labeled plastic water bottle if your child wants to bring water. We cannot bring straw tumblers on the bus.
If you are chaperoning, please be at the school by 7:50 to get your sticker. You will follow the bus there so we can all get there around the same time. All our tickets are on one QR scanner so we will not be able to let you in if you are late.
If your child has a cell phone, they will not be able to have it out on the field trip. It may be used in the event of an emergency. We are not responsible for any items left at the aquarium.

Valentine's Day Info
Students will have the opportunity (not requirement) to pass out Valentine's to all of their classmates. If you choose to participate, please bring enough for every student. They do not need to bring their own boxes.
A class list will be sent home.
Week of January 27th
Don't forget to encourage your child to read 20 minutes nightly at home and initial his/her reading log! This is so important to partner with us to improve your child's reading and performance at school. The overall goal is to read 100 minutes every week! Reach out to your child's teacher if you need another copy of the reading log.
