MRE Update
January 1, 2025
Students are invited to take part in the Winter Break Reading Challenge! To participate, students color in a picture for every 20 minutes they read or are read to during the winter break. Completed logs can be returned for a small prize. To receive the prize, logs must be turned in by Friday, January 3rd.
A paper copy will be sent home early next week, and a PDF version is linked below as a backup in case the original is misplaced or damaged.
Participation is optional; this activity is simply a fun way to encourage reading over the break!
Grades 3-5
- Parents picking MRE students up for ski club should park in the basketball courts next to the parking lot.

Calling All Parents and Guardians!
Are you looking for a way to earn extra income while maintaining a flexible schedule? Do you want a role that aligns with your child's school hours, or are you a former teacher looking to stay connected to education? Consider becoming a substitute—opportunities are available!

Thank you for considering this meaningful way to support our school!
If your child wants to play in the snow...
We suggest that each student have a designated bag to transport their snow gear to and from school each day. It doesn't need to be fancy—just something your child can easily carry. (A grocery store bag, a reusable bag, or whatever works for your student.
Label your child's belongings, including jackets, sweatshirts, snow pants, and boots. Adding their name to these items makes it easier for us to return lost items.
Pack a pair of shoes! Please send a pair of shoes for your child to wear at school instead of their winter boots, as boots often become wet and heavy during recess.
Ensure gloves are dried before bringing them back to school. Many students request dry pairs, and our supply to share is limited.
Encourage independence! We recommend having your child pack their bag each night. This is a great way to foster responsibility and help them build independence.
No worries if gear is forgotten! If your child forgets their snow gear, it’s okay! This provides students with an opportunity to practice flexible thinking by adapting to the situation and finding alternative ways to play and participate during recess.
