Halloween Fun

Last week, MMES celebrated Halloween starting with preschool parties on October 29 and 30. They had their parties first so they could perform in their fall program on October 31.






On Halloween morning, MMES Preschool performed their traditional fall program, all dressed up with lots of autumn songs!




On Halloween afternoon, K-3rd grades celebrated with parties full of games and other fun activities! Here's kindergarten in the "Messy Room" and on their playground.





First graders enjoyed their classroom Halloween parties as well as some PE and recess time in costume!





For their afternoon Halloween party, 2nd grade took over the library with fun activities and lots of amazing costumes!





Third grade also had their Halloween fun in the library! Thank you to all the parents and staff for making our celebrations possible!




Rhythmic Fitness Club

Did you see Room 305 students performing with rhythmic fitness balls and drumsticks at our Constitution Day assembly in September? You can do it too if you join Mrs. Perkins and Mr. Olson's Rhythmic Fitness Club that meets every Mon./Wed. from 7:30-8:15 a.m. It's only $100 for the whole year and so much fun!
