MCESA is closed this afternoon through January 2 for winter break. We will return on Tuesday, January 3, 2023. We wish everyone a safe and enjoyable break. Happy Holidays!
A very special THANK YOU goes out to our Post Secondary students and staff who took the time to make a thoughtful gift and dessert for MCESA board members at the December board meeting. #mcesabettertogether
Longview Early Childhood Center students, staff and families were able to sing along with Music Therapist, Kendra Booth today.
Here's a look at some of the fun events that have taken place over at the MCESA classrooms at Midland High. Students took a field trip to Frankenmuth, made holiday cookies, and continue to sell popcorn on everyone's favorite day of the week - popcorn Friday!
Some Mondays you just need a pick-me-up, especially before a holiday break, and Longview Early Childhood Center brought just that this morning! The team hosted a cookie, coffee, and hot cocoa bar plus ugly sweater day. Their bright team spirit is definitely shining.
๐Ms. Katโs class had a lot of fun using their skills to make Grinch punch with Ms. Nicole and Ms. Tracy last week. ๐
Caught in the act! Transition Coordinator, Jennie Coston, was spotted adding her own personal touches that she crocheted to the tree in the Sugnet Building. A few of the MCESA departments have made their own ornaments that they have placed on the tree this year, which makes it extra special. ๐
