STAFF APPRECIATION WHAT A WEEK! WHAT A STORYBOOK RIDE!
On behalf of all of our staff I want to share a heartfelt thanks for making everyone on campus feel truly special and appreciated. Beyond the amazing care, support and generosity we felt this week, it is amazing to be part of a community where the connection between home and school is truly strong and where we, as staff, feel as though we are working in true partnership with you to ensure each and every child is successful. Just as importantly, it is beautiful to be at a school where everyone -- teachers, staff, students, community members and parents all have the same mission – to help each child achieve their potential. Thank you, thank you, for taking us all on an amazing journey through the world of books this past week. We very much look forward to partnering with you for the remainder of the year.

COMPASS LEARNING PRINCIPAL'S CHALLENGE IS ON AGAIN
Just a remainder that the Compass Learning Principal’s Challenge is on again. All students who achieve an hour a week from now until May will be treated to a movie night on the playground under the stars with nachos. Again, while ALL students at MRES are expected to complete a minimum of one hour a week of Compass Learning we decided to add a fun incentive for our students. You do not need to print out any reports or turn anything in to school. You can, however, track your child’s progress by checking her/his electronic backpack, which is located in the upper left hand corner, when your child logs into their Compass Learning program.
