We are "hopping" with pride for our 3rd graders as they finished creating a "Freaky Frog Book" that contained numerous writing pieces including pourquoi narratives and informational writing about frogs. They also created a frog trading card with a detailed scientific drawing, basic facts learned through their research, and scores for various features such as poison and camouflage.

Join us for the annual ArtWorks Festival at Lincoln-Way East on Saturday, March 16th from 10am-3pm, showcasing artwork from MES, MIS, and MJHS!
