Winter evenings are the perfect time to make learning cozy and enjoyable at home. Encourage your child to read aloud to you each night for at least 10–15 minutes. Let them choose books that spark their curiosity—stories about animals, snow, or winter adventures work wonderfully! Reading aloud helps children build fluency, strengthen vocabulary, and develop expression. If they come across a tricky word, pause to sound it out together or talk about what it might mean based on the story. After reading, ask questions like “What was your favorite part?” or “Why did the character do that?” This builds comprehension and conversation skills. Set up a special reading spot with a blanket, soft light, and maybe a cup of cocoa to make it feel special. If your child prefers writing practice, they can draw or write a few sentences about what they read.

Career Day is a wonderful opportunity for students to hear about various careers in our community and learn how the skills they are learning today can benefit them in the future.

If you would be interested in presenting at our Career Day this spring please complete the interest form by February 6th.

Our Career Day will be held on April 17th from 9 am to 11 am. Presenters will present to 8 groups for about 15 minutes each.

Thank you all for your continued support of our school community.

Let's make these events great!

Come volunteer at MRI! Level 1 volunteers are those individuals who have a completed and approved background check. All chaperones for field trips must be a Level 1.

It is recommended that you consider getting your Level 1 if you plan on volunteering at school in any way. This way it's done and you should be good to go!

Want to volunteer as a mystery reader or help with a class lesson/activity? Communicate with your child's teacher to schedule a time to be here!

Don't forget to submit your child's absence note.
