A big thank you to the Deltaville Community Association and the YMCA for their incredible partnership in providing FREE swim lessons to all MES second-grade students! 🏊‍♂️💙

This week, the DCA generously provided every second-grade student with a swim bag to help transport towels and bathing suits to and from lessons beginning next week. These thoughtful contributions help make this exciting opportunity possible for our students.

We are grateful for community partners who invest in our children and provide meaningful, life-learning experiences that build confidence, safety skills, and lifelong memories. Thank you for supporting our students and our schools!

Taco ‘bout a great way to celebrate Staff Appreciation Week! 🌮🎉

This week, our amazing staff enjoyed a full taco bar provided by Central Office Administration as a small token of appreciation for all they do each day for our students and schools.

And let’s be honest — one of the BEST parts of Taco Bar Day is not having to worry about packing a lunch before heading to school! 🙌 This crowd-pleasing tradition is one our staff looks forward to year after year, and seeing everyone gather together to enjoy good food and great company makes it even more special.

Thank you to our incredible staff for everything you do. We appreciate you today and every day! ❤️

🎭✨ What a performance by the talented students of St. Clare Walker Middle School & Middlesex Elementary Drama Clubs!

After months of rehearsals, set design, and behind-the-scenes preparation, their production of Fairytale of Misfits by Jeff Fluharty truly took the stage by storm. From the first line to the final bow, our students brought heart, humor, and incredible dedication to every moment.

Through their portrayal of these “misfit” characters, the cast reminded us all of an important message—our differences aren’t flaws, they’re our greatest strengths. 💫

We are so proud of the hard work, creativity, and teamwork that made this production such a success. Bravo to the entire cast and crew! 👏🎬
