Great job by MES music teacher Ashley Turner and the fourth and fifth grade choir during their recent holiday performance!




Ms. Sayegh brought our 4th-grade "Blood on the River" unit to life with an exciting and interactive experience! She arranged a live Q&A with the author, Elisa Carbone, where students shared questions and comments. By the end of the session, the kids were buzzing with excitement and eager to dive into her next book about Jamestown. What an inspiring and unforgettable experience!
