MEES

With only a short time left before the majority of our staff will be back in the building, here’s a little something to get our students ready and in a great mindset for a new school year!

🎒✏️ BACK-TO-SCHOOL COUNTDOWN IS ON! 🍎📚

Only a few more sleeps until backpacks are packed, pencils are sharpened, and we’re ready to welcome our students back! 🚌✨

Still checking things off your school-supply list? Don’t forget the labels! 🏷️

Get your child's belongings ready for the new school year with Mabel’s Labels — and support our school at the same time! ❤️

From lunch containers and water bottles to shoes, clothing and school supplies, labels make it much easier for those “Is this mine?” moments! 😉

👉 Order your Mabel’s Labels through our school fundraiser and a portion of your purchase comes back to support our students and school community!

Label it. Pack it. Support our school. 💙

🎒 Ready, set, LABEL! 🏷️✨

While most internal communication happens through ClassDojo, this one seems good to share here because we 🫶 our books!
Also, thank you to Miss Tapps, our librarian, for all you do for us throughout the year.
