A Message to Our Families:
Dear MES Families,
What a special evening that we shared with so many at our 7th Annual MES Poetry Cafe! We are truly grateful to the Cape Cod Cultural Center for hosting us and for allowing us to showcase artwork created by our third grade students. Their masterpieces were inspired by artwork by Beatriz Milhaze. So many of our students read and recited poetry. Some poems were original pieces created by our students, some were classroom favorites, and others were selected at and for the event! All of the readings were so memorable and we are very proud of our students. Thank you to everyone who made this event such a success and for your support!
Next week is Teacher Appreciation Week! We want to extend our gratitude to the continuous hard work and dedication that our staff demonstrates every day! Please consider participating in the ideas that our Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) has suggested below for a way to "thank" a teacher.
We hope that everyone has a wonderful weekend!
Warm regards,
Ms. Mahedy and Mrs. Carlson

Book Donations from the Rotary Club of Yarmouth
We are so fortunate that throughout the school year the Rotary Club of Yarmouth will be providing books to each of our families at MES! Please look for your child's next book in their backpack! The book, Curious George: Tadpole Trouble by H.A. Rey will have a QR code on the back cover that will allow students to listen to the book read to them by a member of the Yarmouth Rotary Club! You can hold a smartphone camera over the code, scan it, and you will be brought to the recording of the book! Enjoy it and happy reading!
