Visits and yet...more...snow...

 Possibly our shortest week ever! But when we were together, there was SO much accomplished. We began the week by welcoming our students' beloved Grandparents & Special Friends. It was well attended and gave us the opportunity to share what we do with some of the most important people in our students' lives! Thanks to everyone who helped to make the annual morning event a great success!
This week also featured our
Spring Book Fair
which was set up and (wo)manned by a small army of MFCS moms. Thanks to that team, and to Laura W. for another great book fair.
 This is Week 1 of our
2018 Calendar Raffle Sales Period.
It takes our whole MFCS village working together to meet our fundraising goal for our annual spring school-based fundraiser. This year, Lisa Z, the MFCS Parent Coordinator of the Raffle Calendar Fundraiser, has set the goal at $15,000. Please be sure to help out by selling the calendars sent home in backpacks with each child. Speak to friends, families, neighbors and colleagues to help us meet our goal. Thank you!
We got a GREAT response to our call for volunteers for our
2018 Field Day Committee. There is just 1 spot left... please click
here to sign up.
Looking for a spring sport for your child or hockey player? The Manchester Hockey Roos recommends lacrosse!
MPAL Thunderstix has open-registration for their spring lacrosse season. They focus on fundamentals, teamwork and fun. Click

Due to the snow days over the past couple weeks, we have decided to move
2018 Spirit Week to March 26th - 30th!

After School Programming & Updates

LetgoYourMind After School Program begins
Wednesday, March 21st
Each week the Letgo Your Mind Teacher will discuss key engineering and physics concepts and demonstrate how special LEGO® elements work together. Students might make vehicles that can travel 50 feet under their own power or glide down a ramp. They will use gears to make things move or spin! Students will create LEGO® builds with challenges to make them more complex. Participants will use LEGO® pieces that move with gears and a motor. Each session you'll take home lots of new ideas and fun memories, but not your LEGO® creations.
Please click here to view the flyer.
