Happy April Families!

I took a long walk in the sunshine on Sunday, and though the breeze was sharp, I felt and saw the promise of spring. What do you say we all just take one big bunny hop over the April Fool’s joke Nature is playing this week, and then resume listening for the first peepers and warblers!

Last week was one of those when the MBES team really had to pull together to keep the focus on learning and keep the peace among students. Between the lingering effects of the time change, the rain-induced indoor recess, and the excitement of Easter, our students needed a little extra patience, care, and support. Of course, that’s what the teachers and support staff deliver best, and we made it to Friday in good form!

I hope you all enjoyed a nice Easter Day with family.

As you know, the schedule is about to get very busy! You will find the April dates and notices as well as the menus below.

Give us a shout if you have any questions.

In partnership with you,
