Happy New Year MBES Families!
I’m not yet quite used to writing 2024, but a new year is underway regardless!
We have had a great return to school! Students seem ready to get back to learning, routines, and socializing. I credit the MBES team at school and the parents who have raised respectful, well behaved children for the smooth transition back. (I’m also knocking on wood a little!)
As you can see from our cover photo, the kindergarten and 1st graders decided to make thier own snow flakes. Maybe their art mural will bring snow on Sunday!
Have a great weekend!
In partnership with you,
Mary

Afternoon Pickup safety: Thanks to all drivers who are parking near Houdlette field. We still have a few who are parking across the street from the school so they can quickly pull in after the buses. We ask that you not do this as it is a safety issue, especially as more and more cars follow suit. Thank you, again, for your cooperation.
