Did you like seeing the snow fall today? The students in Ms. Kat's class sure did! They stepped out for a bit to enjoy the excitement of the "first snow."


Happy Kindness Week! Let's make kindness the norm, not just this week, but always. #kindnessweek #kindnessmatters #mcesabettertogether


Thank you to all veterans for your bravery and sacrifice.


Congratulations to MCESA Teacher, Kelly Brandle, who recently received the 212 Award from Midland High School. The 212 Award is in reference to the fact that water is hot at 211 degrees, but one more degree causes water to boil. Thus, the 212 Award recognizes those who go that extra degree to make a difference in their job with students and co-workers. Way to go, Kelly!


Special delivery! The MCESA TRAILS cooking class visited the administration offices with a tasty treat they are trying out for Thanksgiving. We are extra thankful for their visits.


As a reminder, Tuesday, Nov. 8 is a professional development day for staff at MCESA. There will be no school for MCESA students that day.

Thanks to the team at Jefferson for sharing these fun Halloween photos. Ms. Kruskamp's classroom got all dressed up for the occasion, and Mr. Dishaw's room tested out the scientific method on Halloween candy.




Happy Halloween from TRAILS! 🎃 The students had a busy morning making ghosts, cookies, trick-or-treat bags, a photo booth, and much more!
