Good Morning, MES Families! We are off to a great start this morning at MES! The kids are situated and things are rolling smoothly! A couple of announcements to share:
1. On the first day, we love seeing parents bring our littlest Yellow Jackets in the building. However, for K-5 students, starting tomorrow, kids will not be permitted into the building until 8:00am. Also, we kindly ask that parents do not accompany them inside the building.
2. For those who are car riders, a reminder that for morning drop off and afternoon pickup, you line up along Locust Street. Please go down Patterson Street (road between the HS and VP) and follow that around the back of the campus. Cars will be ushered in once buses have departed. For the afternoon pickup, same procedure, except we will also need to see your child's assigned number to make sure we match students up with the proper car.
3. We also ask that PARENTS REMAIN IN THEIR VEHICLE and pull all the way forward. In addition to this, we ask that cars do not exit the line until the vehicle in front of you does. Please and thank you!
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the elementary office or email Mr. Corn (jcorn@ses.k12.in.us).
Have a great day!
Please note, open house for the Little Yellow Jackets Preschool will be on Monday, August 5th from 4:30-6:00pm. If you have any questions regarding the preschool program, please contact our preschool director, Ashley Evans (aevans@ses.k12.in.us). Thank you!

There will be a PTA Meeting this evening in the elementary library at 5:30pm! :)
Please see a message from Mr. Thrasher and Miss DeVries:
Hello!
With the spring semester going by so fast, Mr. Thrasher and I wanted to reach out with a few details explaining our elementary music program coming up. The program is centered around Drew Daywalt’s children's book, “The Day the Crayons Quit.” In the book, the main character Duncan opens his crayon box one day to find that each of his crayons has written him an individual letter airing their grievances regarding his usage of that particular crayon. At the end of the book, Duncan uses all the crayons to create a picture that highlights all of them.
We have chosen two crayon colors for each grade level, and corresponding songs to sing/perform for each one. From each grade level, we will have two student speakers who will read either of the colors before they perform their song. For kindergarten and first grade, we will have a teacher from each class read.
We would like to have students dress in a t-shirt/sweatshirt/top in a corresponding color for their grade level, one color per class. This does not have to be a specific shade of any of the colors and just needs to be the main color of the shirt.
The crayon and shirt that go with each grade level are as follows:
Kindergarten: Red (Ledford) and green (Morris)
First Grade: Orange (Metcalf) and gray (Schmidt)
Second Grade: Pink (Bland) and white (Kuhn)
Third Grade: Peach (Tush) and blue (Songer)
Fourth Grade: Beige (Godar) and purple (Reighley)
Fifth Grade: Yellow (Collier) and black (Rush)
Everyone: Rainbow
It will take place on April 3rd, at 7:00 PM in the main gym at MHS. Students should arrive at 6:30 PM.
Hopefully, with time and preparation, this will create a memorable and fun experience that your students will be excited to perform!
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you!
