Carline Safety: Please keep your child safely buckled in their car seat until you've reach one of the spots where we get children out of the car. You do not need to get out of your car- the carline greeter will get your child out. It is a good idea to place your car in "park" so that your car does not roll at all during this busy time.

Boca Helping Hands Thanksgiving Collection will be November 11-15. They appreciate non perishable items such as stuffing, boxed mashed potatoes, canned gravy, canned green beans, or applesauce in plastic jars.

The MECE Parent Association plans numerous events and opportunities for parents to get involved and participate in the MECE Parent Association, thereby directly supporting the school and our children.
