A+ School of Excellence ™ Celebration

MMES is celebrating its A+ School of Excellence ™  award on Monday, May 6 at 1:00 p.m.! The Arizona Educational Foundation will present us with our official banner at an assembly featuring distinguished guests, FHHS band, and cheerleaders/mascot. 

Afterward we will go to the field for drone photos of staff, students, parents, and community members forming the shape of an A+! It is essential that everyone MUST WEAR BLUE! 

Parents, please use the RSVP form we sent home to let us know if you would like to participate so that we can plan ahead with organizing numbers of people to form the A+.
