Cultural Arts Corner
We feel it is important to bring together the home and school connection on our cultural arts and awareness journey, so thank you to all the families who took time to join Wednesday evening’s parent presentation/discussion with Scott Chesney (speaker at the Week of Respect assemblies at MTES and MTMS). We hope you found the session informative, and that Scott provided you with some useful tips and recommendations. 

We hope to provide more opportunities throughout the year that continue to bring together the home and school connection around cultural arts and awareness, because … when we partner together, we make a difference for all our children, and when we stand together, no one stands alone.
