Good evening, Fox families!
I hope you’re having a relaxing Sunday evening. This is your proud principal, Mr. Street, and I’m grateful to share a few updates as we head into the week. I truly feel lucky to serve such a supportive and caring community. The way our families, students, and staff show up for one another makes MNES a very special place. And I also want to say thank you for the kind words, notes, and support during Principal Appreciation Week. I felt very loved and very blessed.
I want to start with a reminder that there will be no school tomorrow, Monday, January 19th, as we observe Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Later this week, we will be conducting a lockdown drill. This is only a drill and is part of our regular practice to help students and staff stay prepared. Our team will guide students through it calmly and safely.
Also this week, we will begin growth testing in grades 3 through 5. These assessments help us see how much our students have grown. Families, we appreciate your help in reminding our young foxes to get a good night’s rest, take their time, and put forth their best effort. That effort truly matters.
On Friday morning, January 23rd, our kindergarten students are invited to attend a Royal Tea Party as a culminating event for their Kings and Queens unit. Dressing up in royal attire is welcome but not required — it’s sure to be a fun and memorable experience for our youngest foxes.
I’d also like to remind families that yearbook orders are open through February 28th. We don’t want anyone to miss out on capturing the memories from this school year. https://strawbridge.fotomerchanthv.com/search/YB34482
If you’re looking for ways to stay connected and support our school, I encourage you to consider joining the PTA and downloading the Box Tops app. There is a Box Tops challenge happening in January, and it’s an easy way to give back. PTA Website
Before I close, I want to thank our amazing teachers and staff. They set high expectations, care deeply about our students, and work every day to help each child grow and succeed. We are incredibly fortunate to have them.
Thank you for your continued support. Let’s make it another great week by working hard, being kind, and leading the way.
Foxes out!
