MCE Memo

Happy New Year! I hope that your family enjoyed time with friends and loved ones over the holiday break. I also hope that your families found time to relax and rejuvenate. Third quarter always feels the longest. With holiday breaks behind us, we are in session until Easter. As always, should any concerns arise, please reach out to your child's teacher. Thank you for your continued support. Your help and partnership makes MCE a great place to learn and grow!

• Mrs. Bridget Cobb will be joining MCE. Mrs. Cobb will be teaching music while Mrs. Mabry is out on maternity leave.
• Mrs. Rodgers is returning from maternity leave. Welcome back Mrs. Rodgers!
• FastBridge testing will be conducted over the next few weeks. All students kindergarten through 5th grade will complete testing in reading, language arts and math.

The next PTO meeting will be held on January 19th.

Mark your calendar for the PTO Mother Daughter Paint Night- January 27th at 6:00 pm. Watch for more information closer to date.

T-shirt orders will be available mid-January. Shirts will be sent home with students unless you indicated differently on the order form.

Thank you to our PTO and other parent volunteers for the staff Christmas gifts, coffee, treats, & school supplies are the way to a teachers heart!

Each student at MCE was able to shop for Christmas gifts to give family members and friends. As usual, this event was so popular, we had to shop for more items mid-week! Thank you to all of our volunteers for making the Holiday Shop such a success! Our students and staff greatly appreciate your generosity and time! MCE Student Council made $4,000 with this fundraiser. A portion of this money has already been used to purchase items for next year's Holiday Shop.

Cocoa and Caroling was planned by the MCE Parent Involvement Committee. Students sang Christmas Carols under the direction of Mrs. Bailey Mabry. Families were able to take pictures with Santa, pick up new stocking caps and gloves (provided by LOL) and complete a holiday art project (provided by the Montgomery City Fine Arts Council). Cocoa and cookies were served in the cafeteria. The event was well attended and much enjoyed by all.

"Mrs. Ferguson is our daughter's second grade teacher. We have been so impressed with Mrs. Ferguson from literally day one. On the first day of school I received a phone call from the school and was admittedly a little nervous about what could have happened the first day that warranted a phone call, only to realize that it was Mrs. Ferguson calling to give me a positive report on how our daughter did the first day. Mrs. Ferguson has continued to be a great communicator and helps us feel as if we are truly partners in our child's education. Our daughter looks forward to going to school each day and has already grown a great deal academically and socially under Mrs. Ferguson's guidance. We are grateful for Mrs. Ferguson and all she does for our kiddo!"

Because of their generous donation, each student at MCE received a gift. Thank you to everyone who made this possible!

We hope that you will join the science fair committee for a night of science exploration. Come view the science fair projects and learn something new! There is a free meal for the first 300 people to attend.

Join us as we recognize the growth and celebrate the accomplishment of all students at MCE. Top MAP achievers for the 21-22 school year will be announced and the cafeteria, library and gym will receive new names. Also, science fair participants will be recognized, and finally you will be able to enjoy MCE's version of the Masked Singer! It is sure to be a fun and exciting morning!
