Front parking lot was redone during summer break. Trees had to be removed between the sidewalk and parking lot because of damage they were causing with their roots.
New for this year is the way the morning announcements are being done. Instead of over the intercom announcements a video that is directed and announced by MES students is zoomed through the computer to each class. Classes are able to watch their peers do the morning announcements. A new reading incentive for the students this year. Students will get a reading paper from the library to record their minutes. When the paper is completed they turn it into Mrs. Maylett who will hang a cutout in the hall. When the trail of cutouts goes up and down the halls in both buildings Mr. Ipson will spend the night on the roof. PTO has been very active and involved already this year.
MES 2023-2024 theme is 1% Better Every Day. Based on the book Atomic Habits. Faculty members received this book at the beginning of the school year.
