The first day of MES Walking Club was a huge success last week!
More Kinderbuddies pictures from last week!
Mrs. Berndt's class at MIS has been working on having a growth mindset and wrote down their goals for this school year!
That first day of Kinderbuddies feeling 😍
Friendly reminder: tomorrow is an early dismissal day!
MES students and teachers began their first Second Step lesson of the school year this week. Unit 1 is all about growth mindset and goal setting! Kindergarten and 1st graders learned about behaviors that help them pay attention. 2nd graders learned about ways to get better at a skill. 3rd graders learned about what happens to their brain when they learn something new. Great work, Stars! ⭐
Congratulations, Johanna! She tied for 29th out of 41 girls at IESA sectionals at Lincoln Oaks Golf Course in yesterday. Thank you, Coaches Alvey and Shaugnessey, for all your positivity and encouragement!

Over the summer, the MIS library had a refresh, complete with paint and new carpeting! A huge thank you goes out to Mrs. Spasojevic and Mrs. Stojak for all of their hours of work to preparing the library for the students. We can't wait for it to open on Tuesday!
Our 6th graders in A205 kicked off ELA with a bang!
First up: Frayer Models got students thinking creatively about themselves. Then, budding journalists interviewed classmates to uncover hidden talents and fun facts and wrote descriptive paragraphs.
The real showstopper? Using Padlet and an AI drawing tool called "I can't draw" to create unique profiles of their peers. Students transformed those descriptive paragraphs into funny and unique profiles of their friends.
See you tonight at MJHS!
First graders read "Our Class is a Family" and then created beautiful drawings!
Happy first day of school!
See you tomorrow! It's going to be a GREAT school year! 🎉📚
