Thank
You!!!
Thank you to all of the families that contributed to make this such a special week! It started with our yard signs welcoming us on Monday. We also received a fabulous breakfast buffet, hosted by Annmarie Toczynski and Samara Latson, as well as a coffee bar we enjoyed all week, hosted by Agelika Doukides!! Tuesday we all enjoyed smoothies from Tropical Cafe and got to spin the wheel for a very generous prize (cash or a gift card)! Wednesday we feasted on Too Jay's for lunch! Thursday we received "Butterfly Garden" seeds and a generous cash gift! Friday we received bundt cakes and an envelope with a again a very generous surprise attached!!! We are truly grateful for Diane Rabb, Rebecca Campbell, Elizabeth Frank, Tricia Darch, and Stephanie Rasel (an incoming family) who did so much to make this week so special for us!
We feel so loved and appreciated!
Thank you to all the parents that hosted all the wonderful Easter Parties!! Everyone had a great time!!
A great big thank you to Diane Rabb! Diane has been the President of the Parent Association for 6 amazing years. It has been such a comfort to have the support and encouragement of Diane for all of these years. The Parent Association has been doing community building and fundraising to support the teachers for as long as we can remember. This is Diane's last year as president and she leaves some large shoes to fill. She also leaves behind well organized notes on how to run many of the events that MECE families enjoy. We have a wonderful Vice President for next school year but we do need a President and a Treasurer for the legacy to continue. Please attend the May 2 meeting and congratulate Diane on six wonderful years (and consider volunteering!)

Hello MECE families!
It’s so hard to believe that in just a few weeks, this school year will come to an end! I want to thank all of our generous families. Through the auction we supplied new computers in some classrooms and iPads for kindergarten. Your children and MECE’s amazing teachers have been blessed with your gifts, and we couldn’t be more thankful.
Thank you to Agelika, Samara, AnneMarie, Rebecca, Beth, and Tricia for all of your hard work and generosity during Teacher Appreciation Week. We gave each teacher, Miss Cathy & Miss Lisa an amazing week! Each teacher received $75 in cash, bundt cakes, flower seed packets, a catered lunch and breakfast, and a prize valued at $25. It was an extraordinary week!
As the year closes, I reflect on the past year. It is so inspiring to see parents give so freely to their children’s school. Through the Parent Association, we as parents, have given our teachers the resources to give our children enrichments in their classrooms and play areas and safety that they deserve so they can flourish. Thank you all for your generosity.
As many of you know, my youngest is moving on to elementary school next year. Beth Frank who has served as an outstanding treasurer and event planner this year, will not return next year. This leaves a huge gap in the Parent Association. The school needs you to help grow the amazing bonds between families through many of the events throughout the year. Please come to our next meeting on Tuesday, May 2 at 9:15 in the Center Room. We hope you’ll take on the new school year and join a committee and continue to grow MECE’s community!
All the best,
Diane Rabb
Upcoming Events:
Parent Association Meeting
Join us for our final meeting of the year! We’ll be meeting on Tuesday, May 2nd at 9:15 am. Come hear about all the events for next year and see how you can help! If you’ve signed up to coordinate an event next year please come to pick up folders. If you have a folder, please return it.
