A Message from Ms. Peterson
Hello MCP3 Families,
MCP3 is enjoying celebrating the Week of the Young Child! On Saturday, the week started with a special Kick off Event on Thrive on King. Over 100 community members from Milwaukee who support early childhood education came together to celebrate, network, and advocate for high quality early childhood education in our city! Yesterday, MCP3 kicked off the week with Music Monday- scholars and staff came in shirts representing a variety of musical artists and musical genres. Scholars enjoyed making shakers and dancing with them to music in the Rauh Room!
Today we celebrate 414 Day and Tasty Tuesday! Scholars got to try different types of fruit and cheese in the class and vote on their favorite, exercise in the Rauh Room, and represent their MKE City!
Thank you for your participation in this special week! If you haven't signed up for tomorrow's Read-In- no worries. Sign up TODAY and join us from 2:00-2:45 for Work Together Wednesday by clicking this link. Guest Reader Sign Up
