Jill Jacob, Principal

Laura Allen, Assistant Principal

Welcome back and I hope you had a fantastic summer! The Jacob family has been more than blessed this summer but are excited to get back to routine.

There are so many great things happening at MCE! Everyone at MCE has been busy getting the building ready to welcome our students and their families back to school. The teachers have been working to get their classrooms ready to welcome our learners as well as preparing lessons and fun activities to help them learn and grow!

There are many new faces at MCE this year. Please help us welcome our new staff members. They are excited to meet you and your children!

We are all looking forward to a great year at MCE!

Thank you to the generous donation of many of community businesses, we were able to bulk order many of our school supplies. Some of the bulk school supplies have started arriving and are being sorted by grade level.
