Summer Hours at MEC

Technology and Goodwill at MEC

The power of technology was on full display

throughout this school year in Mrs. Shillady’s

3rd grade classroom. Her students took part in

written correspondence with Lt. Shaun Shillady

a Navy reservist currently deployed in Afghanistan. Shaun is a

1987 Muhlenberg graduate. To make the experience even more

impactful, students got the chance to interact with Lt. Shillady

via Skype, a video conferencing software over the computer.

Thank you Lt. Shillady for your service, and for taking the time

to interact with our students about your service experiences!

MEC will be looking like the Summer Olympics during two days in June! On Tues-

day, June 3rd, grades 3 and 4 will participate in their Field Day, while grades K-2

take part in Field Day on Wednesday, June 4th. Please be sure that your child is

dressed appropriately for both weather and physical activities for their corresponding

day. Also, please be aware of information that is being sent home by Mr. Angove and

Mrs. Leffler, PE teachers at MEC. This information will explain Field Day in detail,

and provide you with options for your child’s lunch for that day. This information

should be sent back as soon as possible with your child to school. Thank you in advance for your help and co-

operation in making Field Day a fun and healthy day for your child!

Field Day Reminder

Dress Code Reminder

As per MSD Board Policy 221 (Students may be required to wear certain

types of clothing while participating in physical education classes, technology

education, extracurricular activities, or other situations where special attire

may be required to ensure the health or safety of the Student) and page 5 of

the MEC “Handbook for Students and Parents”, students are not permitted to

wear such clothing that may create safety situations or be offensive in nature.

Examples of these types of outer-wear include tank tops, halter-tops, and

shirts containing offensive decals/slogans, along with flip-flops on the stu-

dents’ feet. Because flip-flops do not stay secure on the foot due to the lack of

a strapping back piece, they may cause students to slip and fall in such areas

as stairwells, physical education, and recess. Please refrain from allowing

your child to wear flip-flops to school. Thank you in advance for your help

and cooperation in this matter!

Library Book Return

If you have not already done so, please be sure to check to

see if your child has returned all of his/her library books to

the MEC library. It is important to have all borrowed books

returned to help keep our library an optimal place for your

child to find a variety of books that meet your child’s vari-

ous literary needs. Any books that are found over the sum-

mer months can be returned at your convenience to the MEC Office during

summer office hours. Thank you in advance for your help!
