Colder Weather News
With the weather getting a bit colder, please remember to send your students to school with jackets, coats, hats, gloves, etc. We ask that items are marked with your child's name on it. Students are not allowed to share hats, headbands, or earmuffs. Please give your child this reminder, as well. The nurse's office has extra items if anyone is in need of them.
Be sure to remind your student to check the MES Lost and Found for any items that may have found their way there. You can also check it by visiting the main office. Thank you!
MES Bus Evacuation Drills
Our students practice bus evacuation drills twice a year. They did a wonderful job demonstrating how respectful, responsible, ready, caring, and safe they were during these drills this week!
Grade 3 visits the Cape Cod Symphony Young People's Concert
Our third grade students demonstrated excellent respect and attention during the concert! We are so proud of how they represented our school! The concert at the Barnstable Performing Arts Center was truly delightful! Thank you Ms. Healy, our music teacher, and for our third grade team for providing this experience to our students!
Music News for November 17, 2023
Our Grade Three field trip to the Cape Cod Symphony’s Young Persons’ Concert featuring the music of Mozart was a huge success! One highlight of the concert for many of the students was hearing a 13 year old student from Plymouth perform Mozart’s Piano Sonata in C major.
And, in other music news, we are excited to announce that we have found a venue for our All-School December Concert! Save the date! On Monday, December 18th, at 6:00 p.m. our students will perform their concert selections for families in the auditorium of our new Intermediate Middle School on Station Avenue in South Yarmouth. More details will be forthcoming.
If you have any questions about music class or events, please feel free to reach out to me by email at healyk@dy-regional.k12.ma.us or by phone at 508-778-7975 x 6323.
Ms. Healy
