MCP3 Staff News

Greetings MCP3 Team!

It was a great first week back from Spring Break and a strong start to Quarter 4! Thank you all for stepping up as a team and helping out where needed while Ms. Perine was out and we were short staffed at times. It is much appreciated!

This week we celebrate The Week of the Young Child! I am super excited to have a fun filled week with intentional activities planned both in and out of the classroom! Be sure to read through this WOYC 25-26 Document for themed spirit days, activites, and other notes. We will be sure to include additional details in each evening email so make sure to read through carefully and ask questions if you are still unsure!
