“I Love to Read” month was another huge success this past February. Our theme of “Winter Olympics” included homerooms adopting a sport, guest speakers, and special activities.

One special highlight this year included having a horse drawn wagon give rides throughout the afternoon. Thank you to our I Love to Read and Winter Fun Day committees for all of your… Read More

“Stop, and look, and listen…” I love reading. In fact, I really love to read. So when a good friend recently offered me a book called The Remarkable Ordinary as a gift, I was given the opportunity to gain a greater appreciation of The Arts through it’s pages.

We collected approximately 950 items for Helping Hands this year. As we move into the new year we look forward to continuing… Read More
Silent Night (Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht) written and performed for the first time almost 200 years ago, could very well be the best Christmas carol of all time given the peace and sense of calm it evokes in audiences world wide. In fact, it was declared an intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO in 2011. With all of the important work left to be done before the break here at MES it may not always be peaceful and calm, but we… Read More

At MES we value student student engagement: social, academic, emotional, & intellectual. One way we celebrate engagement is through assemblies.
Assemblies at MES are open to everyone and the calendar of assemblies is listed on our website. (click here for a link to our school calendar) We also like to highlight certain special assemblies such as last year’s quartet of Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra players, the Kayler & Bergen concert, or the Horizon String Quartet.
November 10 is our Remembrance Day Assembly featuring the Grade 4 choir. The assembly begins at 11:00 and everyone is invited to attend.
