Join us on October 7 at 4:00 PM, immediately following dismissal, for our first PTO meeting of the year! We invite you to be part of this wonderful and supportive team that has made a positive impact on our students at MES. Your involvement makes a difference!

We had a very busy September in music class! We have been studying steady beat and rhythm, practicing keeping the beat with our hands and bodies as well as with percussion instruments. We have begun practicing simple 4-beat rhythm patterns and recognizing these patterns in familiar songs and chants. During the month of October, students will be composing and performing their own rhythm patterns.

We also learned about traditional music and samba dancing from Brazil in honor of Brazilian Independence Day, celebrated each year on September 7. We are currently learning about Hispanic music, musicians, and dances like La Raspa and Los Machetes in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, which occurs annually from September 15 - October 15. 

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.

Ask your students to sing you their song about our MES 5! It is their way to remember to always be Respectful, Responsible, Ready, Caring & Safe. "With these five ingredients we can make every day a great day!"

Our Scholastic Book Fair will be running from 10/13-10/17. Stay tuned for details!

FYI-Power School will now be automatically sending messages to families who do not notify the school of their child's absence. Please remember to call our attendance line before 10:00 AM to report an absence or tardy.
