Did you know that MES has a News and Technology Club for grades 3-5? During these first nine weeks, students in this club, led by Mrs. Thrumond, published a digital newsletter containing the positive things that are going on at MES. This newsletter is ready to be shared digitally! When students were not working on the newsletter, they worked on digital citizenship, coding, or school-related 3D printing projects as they are needed. (There is also a possibility of creating a yearbook). We are empowering students to reach their greatest potential! Be sure to check out the newsletter.

MES would express how much we appreciate McCormick Methodist Church and the donations of supplies that they gave to our students. This quote by Donna Shalala is very true, "We know the parental support and community support make a difference.” From the bottom of our hearts, our administrators, teachers, faculty, and parents always appreciate the support of our community.
It has been an amazing first nine weeks! We wish you a safe intercession. We will see some of you Monday for "Full Steam Ahead" or "Camp EAGLE".
Good Afternoon,
Don't forget that tomorrow we have an opportunity for parents that you do not want to miss! We have a parenting session on "Love and Logic" which will be presented at our Parent University at 9:30 a.m. Sign in to the MES office. Love and Logic teaches strategies and tools to help parenting seem less chaotic and stressful. We look forward to seeing you. https://www.loveandlogic.com/pages/about-us
We hope to see you all tomorrow ( Tuesday, September 19) at our PTO meeting! The book fair will be open from 3:45-5:00. PTO officers meet at 5:00. PTO meeting for everyone will be at 5:30 in the MES Cafeteria. We will showcase some of our clubs. We look forward to seeing you!
Congratulations to our recent Joy Award Winners!
Mrs. Rucker has been very helpful throughout the school week and works hard in the garden. She is always willing to help do what is needed for students.
Mrs. G. Hill Is always positive and willing to collaborate as a team in PLCs and outside of PLCs. She has good things to say about students and maintains positive communication with students in all situations.
We have a lot going on next week. Be sure to read the Parent Weekly carefully. Have a great weekend! Go Chiefs!
Monday is fall picture day! Students will be allowed to wear their best dress for pictures as long as it falls within the regular guidelines. Uniforms are not required.

If you have any questions, call the school and ask for Mrs. Thurmond in the media center.
Thank you for supporting the Scholastic Book Fair at MES!
Good Morning,
Ben Carson said, " Refusing to own your own mistakes, doesn't make you seem more competent; it reveals cowardice, callousness, and untrustworthiness." Ms. White made a mistake. I approved that MES could participate in Spirit Week for Homecoming a few weeks ago. However, I let this week slip up on me thinking it was later in the season. I did not get information out as quickly as I should have. Please forgive me! However, I wanted you all to know that MES students CAN participate in Homecoming Spirit Week! Let's enjoy this week and celebrate the CHIEFS!
Have a great weekend!
Enjoy a long weekend with your family and friends School is closed Monday, September 4 for the Labor Day Holiday. We will see everyone back on Tuesday! Go Chiefs!
Mrs. Judy Burt and Mrs. McTeer won the Joy Awards! Those who nominated them said, "Mrs. McTeer always has a smile and is kind in everything she says and does. Mrs. McTeer is always right there with us! She loves, supports, and encourages the students and the staff members, and she does it with genuine kindness. Thank you for being a positive leader on our bus. Mrs. Judy Burt was nominated because she greets everyone getting breakfast or lunch with a joyful smile. That joy spreads throughout the cafeteria every day. " These ladies are loved and appreciated at MES for spreading joy daily!
Good evening,
Here is the "White's Weekly for Parents." Notice there is a parent survey we would love for you to fill out so we can have continuous improvement. Scan the QR Code to access the survey. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to your child's teacher first, then administration next if needed. We love and appreciate you and your collaborative efforts to reach our destination, "World Class Excellence"!
MES would like to thank Valerie Dansby and Ascend Cares Foundation for making a large donation of backpacks and school supplies to our students. We appreciate all of the support from our community. Our students will certainly enjoy these supplies.
Good Afternoon,
This is a reminder that interims went home with students today. If you have any questions or concerns about your child's progress, please make an appointment to meet with your child's teacher.
Tomorrow is the first Principal's Pow Wow. I hope you are able to attend at 9:00 am for some casual conversations with Ms. White. I am looking forward to letting you know some wonderful things going on this year and to hearing your questions or concerns that you may have.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
Have a great evening!
Angie White
