Congratulations to our Science Fair winners!
Our 6th graders put so much time, thought, and effort into their projects, and it truly showed. They all did a fantastic job, and our judges had a very challenging time selecting the top presentations!
We are so proud of all of our students for their hard work, creativity, and dedication to learning. Great job, 6th grade!
What a FUN day at MES!
Today we held our IAR Carnival for our 3rd–6th grade students! After working so hard on IAR state testing last week, our students earned tickets to enjoy all the fun. They played games, enjoyed snacks, and participated in prize drawings, what a great way to celebrate their effort and perseverance!
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who contributed to our Kiss the Pig fundraiser, those funds helped support our prizes and make this carnival possible.
We are also so grateful to Helena, Mrs. Parcel’s high school students, Jenn and Travis Phillips for providing games, and our amazing PTO for their support and help in making this event a success!
We are so proud of our students and all their hard work! More pictures to come.
Spring Fling fun in 2nd grade!

The District Office phone lines are not working. This has been reported and hope to have it resolved soon. If you need to reach us, please send us an email.
Mrs. Ellington’s fourth graders had some bittersweet goodbyes today as they sent their classroom chicks off to their new home!
These little chicks have been such a special part of their classroom, and today they were welcomed to their new life on a fourth grader’s family farm. What a perfect “happily ever after”!
We love giving our students these hands-on experiences and watching them care for and learn from real-life moments like this. Farewell, little chicks...it's time to fly the coop!
Our first graders have been hopping right into learning this week! They’ve been working hard on Easter-themed math and phonics activities, building their skills while having lots of fun along the way. From counting and problem-solving to practicing sounds and words, these students are doing an egg-cellent job!
Meanwhile, Mrs. Skidmore’s second graders had a surprise guest… a cat! We’re not sure if it came to help with learning or just to check out all the fun, but it definitely made the day a little more purr-fect!
And we’re sharing a few more snapshots from our 5th & 6th grade checkers tournament, so many great matches, big smiles, and some serious strategy happening!
~
Last week, our students worked incredibly hard each morning taking the IAR tests, and we couldn’t be more proud of their effort and determination!
In the afternoons, our 5th and 6th grade teachers added some fun and excitement by organizing a checker tournament! Students competed in a bracket-style challenge, showing off their strategy, focus, and sportsmanship as they faced off against one another.
After some great matches, we crowned a champion, congratulations to our 5th grade winner!
Our Foods class recently took on a fun Food Challenge with Jennifer Bishop from the Clark County Extension Office!

Great job to all of our students for their effort, creativity, and willingness to try something new. What a great hands-on learning experience! It’s a great day to be a Bluestreak. 💙
