📚✨ Scholastic Book Fair is Coming! ✨📚

Get ready—our Scholastic Book Fair is headed to school from March 30 – April 3 during your child’s library time!

This is such a fun opportunity for students to discover new books, explore their interests, and grow their love of reading. From exciting chapter books to activity books and more—there’s something for every reader! 📖💙

We can’t wait to see our students excited about books! Let me know if you have any questions 😊

🏀 Open Gym Opportunity! 🏀 Open gyms are available for any girl who will be in 4th or 5th grade NEXT school year at MWES! This is a great chance to build skills, have fun, and get some time on the court. 📌 Important Reminder: A current sports physical must be turned in before attending. We can’t wait to see our future players there!

Our 4th graders recently got to enjoy something truly special—the newly renovated Gaga Pit that they designed themselves through Authentic Learning! Throughout this engineering process, students demonstrated incredible creativity as innovative problem solvers, strong teamwork as effective communicators, and pride as community contributors. It was amazing to see their ideas come to life right before their eyes! The finished space now includes new benches for students to sit and cheer on their classmates, as well as a gate that allows for easy and safe entry and exit from the pit—features our students thoughtfully planned during the design process. A huge shoutout to Coe Construction for partnering with us and helping turn our students’ vision into reality. We are so proud of the hard work, collaboration, and dedication our 4th graders showed every step of the way!

Lily and Zoey recently enjoyed a special time in Adventures with Adams, using the points they earned through their positive choices! 🌟

Lily created an adorable cat she named Moon, inspired by her own furry friend, while Zoey designed her very own creation named Little Mrs. Bunny. 🐱🐰

The quality time spent with each of these girls was truly priceless. Their dedication, effort, and commitment to making good choices do not go unnoticed, we are so proud of them!

Keep up the amazing work, girls! 💙 We love our Braves who strive each day to follow expectations and be their best selves!

Opportunity for 5th graders!

Pierce recently chose to spend his earned points on a Lego building activity, and what a great choice it was! He carefully designed and created a bird, including wings and a beak. 🐦

From start to finish, Pierce showed incredible patience and determination, working hard until every last piece was in place and the final result turned out perfect!

Adventures with Adams is such a special part of my school day! 🎉

We love celebrating moments like these, where students are recognized for making positive choices and get to enjoy meaningful, creative experiences. Way to go, Pierce! 👏

Shout out to two amazing families who spend their weekends collecting cans in their neighborhoods! These recycling superheroes get their siblings involved, and everyone chips in to get the job done. 💪♻️

We love to see our bins running over with cans! 🥫✨ A big thank you to everyone saving their cans for the Millions Can Contest. We’re in the final weeks, and we need our whole community to pitch in so we can win—every can helps, and it’s great for our planet too! 🌍💚

🎉Adventures with Points🎉 Ethan, Ledge, Hank, Steven and Jayce decided to spend their earned points on a can crushing adventure, but with a fun twist: it was a windy day!💨 The boys embraced the challenge, turning the gusty conditions into even more excitement as they chased down cans and bags. It was amazing to see this group of friends come together, use their points, and create such a fun, memorable experience. These boys truly know how to turn a challenge into an adventure! 💪🥳
