A Message from Ms. Peterson
Hello MCP3 Families,
As we begin our final weeks of school, we want to thank you for your partnership, support, and all the wonderful memories we've shared this year. June is a special time to celebrate together how much our scholars have learned and grown. We look forward to making these last weeks full of fun, laughter, and meaningful moments as we finish the school year strong!
The ABC countdown to summer continues this week! Scholars enjoyed a popcorn treat for "p," painted with Q-tips for "Q," conducted a rainbow experiment with skittles for "R," and created art with stickers for "S." It was incredible hearing our scholars' predictions about what would happen when the hot water was added to the skittles that bordered the paper plate. Scholars predictions included; they would melt, explode, get nasty/sticky, change colors, they colors would come together. It was so fun to see their reactions and expressions as the colors slowly ran towards the middle making a rainbow on the plate! Scholars exclaimed, "This is so cool!" "I love this!"

MCP3 Completion Ceremony
MCP3 will celebrate our class of 2040 in a K3 completion ceremony on June 10th at 9:00am in the Lola Rowe North Campus Gym. Here are a few details regarding our completion ceremony so that it runs smoothly and everyone is safe:
- Scholars must have a zero balance in order to participate
- Scholars may come dressed up
- Please have scholars arrive no later than 8:30 and be in their classroom to prepare for the ceremony (they should be completely dressed and prepared for the ceremony)
- Scholars will NOT be wearing caps/gowns in order to limit unnecessary distractions
- Balloons are NOT allowed in the gym
- Scholars MUST walk back to their classrooms with their teacher after the ceremony to ensure an accurate headcount. Families may sign their child out from the classroom upon completion of the ceremony. Parents may NOT take their child from the ceremony or from the gym.
