Spaghetti Supper!

The annual Spaghetti Supper night was a HUGE success this year!  This is a fundraiser with money going towards the Principal's Student Scholarship program.  This fund is used to help support students financially in the area of before/after school programs, sports, school supplies, and field trips.  Thank you to all of the amazing staff members who helped serve the food and to the PTO for organizing the night.  

Deb Wood and Lisa Bartlett were instrumental in the success of the night.  They secured donations for most of the supplies which allowed this to be the most profitable Spaghetti supper in memory.  Thank you both for making a difference for all of our students!

Reading Workshop @ MMES!

Ms. Howard leads her class in a readers' workshop lesson where students rotated through stations with her, Mr. Lunney, partners, and independently.  It is great to see these well-oiled machines at work everyday here!
