Good Afternoon, MES Families! A couple of reminders for everyone: 1. Picture Retake Day (that was originally scheduled before Fall Break) will be tomorrow Wednesday, October 16th.

Temperatures are becoming more Fall-Like, so we want to remind parents to please bundle their child up each day. Our plan is to take students outside for recess if temperatures are above freezing. It's important to get some fresh air when we can! If you are in need of a coat(s) for your kids, please email Mr. Corn--jcorn@ses.k12.in.us Have a great day!

Good Morning, MES Families! I hope this message finds everyone enjoying their Fall Break! I did want to share a mistake on the Grandparent Breakfast sign up sheet. Grandparent Breakfast will be Tuesday, November 5th (PK-1st) and Wednesday, November 6th (2nd-5th) at 7:00am both days. At the bottom of the form, you are asked to circle which date for the RSVP but November 7th and 8th are the options. That is incorrect. Please change the dates to either the 5th or the 6th. I apologize for the mix up. Have a great day!

Also, check out this spirit wear for all your Yellow Jacket merchandise! https://morristownelementary.spiritsale.com/

Good Evening, MES Families! This is a reminder that Fall Break begins tomorrow, Friday, October 4th. Students will return back to school on Monday, October 14th. Also, information was sent home regarding Grandparent Breakfast. RSVP's and money need to be returned by Friday, October 18th. Have a wonderful break!
