Electives were a hit.  I attended the skiing and snowboarding on Friday and it was a beautiful day.  The ski  instructors commented that the MES crew were the nicest group they worked with all year!  I admit, they sure were well behaved, even on the bus ride home.  It was a fun day had by all.  Thanks to the parents who spent the day with us.


Thank you so much for your generous donations to our "Hats for Haiti" fundraiser.  We appreciate your awareness and care for our global community.

Electives on Friday-snowboarders and skiers will be staying later for tubing.

Be sure to consult the speech calendar to stay on track of your speech writing- frameworks are due on Thursday-jot notes rather than sentences

Please, please wear a hat tomorrow and donate to our Hats for Haiti fundraiser.  Please donate what you can, each student in the class is asked to try to bring in $1.00 to $2.00- every penny counts!  Let's make a difference.

Enjoy your weekend- thanks for the effort you put into your work at school and at home!

Skiing and snowboarding is cancelled for tomorrow, due to the freezing rain warning for tonight and tomorrow morning.  We are already rescheduled for Feb. 05 th.  If the buses are not cancelled, the electives will still take place.  Skiiers and snowboarders will have an alternative activity during this time.

Congratualtions to December's Citizens of the Month- Kassidy Upton, Eric Russel, and Travis Blacklock.  Miss Upton is the teacher's pick.  You should be proud of yourselves for being recognized for showing compassion.

The supply teacher from Monday said that the class is "extremely well-behaved."  Thanks for working so well while I was away at a Safe and Caring Schools workshop with Mr. Remisch and Mrs. Hill.  Marbles for this feedback- Five minutes!

Please continue to bring in any newspapers.  We do need some more grocery ads for our math class tomorrow -making change.

I apologize, but I wasn't in class the last two periods of the day as I had a planning meeting with my grade partner.  If your child does not have the necessary homework materials, he or she may complete the work tomorrow.  Thanks for your understanding.
