UIL Cancels All Remaining Spring Activities and State Championships. More details found here: https://www.uiltexas.org/press-releases/detail/uil-cancels-all-remaining-spring-activities-and-state-championships

While Governor Abbott's announcement to keep schools closed will keep our facilities closed, it also means that we will continue learning remotely. For now students have remote learning packets that need to be completed and turned in. New packets will go out Tuesday, April 21.

With a sad heart, I want to share Governor Abbott's announcement with you. He has closed Texas schools for the remainder of the 2019-20 school year. We will continue to keep you posted here as we move through the next few weeks. Stay Well, Stay Safe, Stay Blessed! Mrs. Edwards

MES Students - We celebrate meeting your Reading & Math Goals each Six Weeks. Since we can't be together to do that now, but we know you've been working hard on your reading, math, and other subjects at home, we have a surprise for you!!!
