In case you missed out on the "chirp"...
Second grade students were recently able to learn about animal life cycles and watch the chicken life cycle in real time. Students made unforgettable memories as they watched chickens hatch and learned how to properly care for them. Through partnership with The Virginia Cooperative Extension Program and Monquin Creek Outdoors, all items were donated & supplied to the 2nd grade for this learning experience!






Thank you to our 1st Quarter Navigators for supporting a positive environment!

Do you have a few extra pumpkins ready to be recycled?
2nd grade students had an opportunity to explore mathematics through a pumpkin investigation. Students were tasked with making estimations and creating groups of 10's to find the exact amount of seeds. 67 sets of 10 later, the students' pumpkin contained 673 seeds!

Recently fifth grade students shared the joy of reading through book buddies with our kindergarten students. Book buddies are a great way to build confidence, provide mentorship, develop community, improve literacy, and foster a love for reading!




The book fair is right around the corner; we would love your help!

A special "thank you" to the MES PTO, Middlesex Kiwanis, K-Kids, and Operations Department. Your hard work and support have transformed this vision into reality. We hope this playground serves as a reminder of what we can achieve together!










Happening this weekend...

What does it mean to be a Colt? It means to be caring, on-task, learning, trustworthy, and safe.
