Our inaugural Afternoon Iced Coffee run proved to be a success. We extend our gratitude to all participating pickup parents for their patience. Please mark your calendars for our next Coffee Run, scheduled for Thursday, November 20th. Coffees will be available for $4, cash only.

We hope everyone who participated enjoyed their coffee!

Parent Teacher Conferences are scheduled for this Thursday, October 23rd. We are seeking donations for the teachers during the conference; kindly refer to the sign-up for necessary donations.

We are thankful for the candy donations and look forward to your continued support. Our objective is to reach 600 pounds of candy; we have collected 372 pounds to date. The Trick or Treating event will take place at the school on Tuesday, October 28th, from 5:00 - 6:30 pm. All donated candy will be utilized for this event, which is a highly enjoyable experience for students and teachers, with many participants dressing up in costumes. Here are the results from the 'Candy Battle': In the 3rd grade, Teets is still in the lead, but Pisano is closing in. In the 4th grade, Sturm and Balsinger are neck and neck. In the 5th grade, Stenson is pulling ahead. The winning class (in each grade level) will receive an ice cream party as a reward.

We are pleased to announce our 3rd and 4th grade dance, taking place on Thursday, November 13th, from 3:45 to 5:00 pm, after school. Further information will be sent home in the next few weeks.

Tomorrow October 20 is the last day to donate towards our Chuck-A-Duck Fundraiser.

All proceeds will directly benefit the Attendance Program at MRI. This helps encourage kids to be present, on time, and ready to learn each day!

The Top 3 earners from each grade level will compete for the grand prize.

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.
