March Vice Principal’s Message

VICE PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE 

It has been just about a year since we started to feel the significant effects and spin-offs of C-19, but in some ways it feels like a lifetime ago. Here’s a short list of things that haven’t changed at MES:

  • laughter ringing the halls
  • screams of delight on the playground during recess
  • massive student engagement in the classroom
  • satisfied looks on student faces after Phys Ed or Music
  • the significance of healthy relationships
  • the importance of positive reinforcement in child development
  • MES staff who are characterized by collaboration, care, compassion
  • community support and trust

As we continue to try to make the best out of challenging situations and health protocols, our February I Love to Read committee did an excellent job of offering unique ways to challenge our students with their literacy goals including unique storytelling opportunities with master storyteller Leigh-Anne Kehler, teacher & guest reading videos including assistant superintendent Colin Campbell, and reading records that were through the roof.

MES continues to be, “A Great Place to Grow.”
