Note from Francie

Welcome back to another great year of learning adventures!  Despite the heat we got right down to work with Primary students getting to know each other and practicing classroom routines, 3^rd-4^th grade students wading into their garden jungle, 5^th-6^th grade heading to Hogback to begin their ecology study, and the Junior High taking off for Mystery Day which included the construction of sailing rafts on South Pond.

Dear MES Families,

What an exquisite summer! I hope you are not all exhausted from one outdoor activity after another. It’s hard to stay inside when the weather is so inviting. Before I leave for a week in the Adirondacks I want to fill you in on some of what you can look forward to when school starts.

As of today, Gail and I count 88 students for the coming year. This is the largest enrollment in many years. Needless to say the number of students doesn’t fall evenly across grade levels so, once again, we’re using creative staffing to meet students’ needs. Please join me in thanking the School Board, Gussie Bartlett, Jen Carr, and Lauren Poster, for their support. As a result we are welcoming Jen O’Donnell, who worked last year as an assistant in the 3rd-4th grade, to the position of co-teacher with Judy in the Primary. They will expand into the space next to the Primary room so that students can spread out and work in small groups. Pam Burke and Celena Lundsted are adding to their responsibilities as Pam teaches reading and math with Erica in 3rd/4th grade and Celena assists David in 5th/6th . We also welcome Erik Schickendanz as our special educator, filling in for Janie Bell while she takes a year’s leave of absence.
