Hello Steggie Families:

We have about 6 weeks left, and there is so much going on! Congratulations to all of the students who worked hard and completed CMAS. Next Wednesday is the Celebration of Learning and Culture Night. 4:00 will begin the Celebration of Learning portion, and families will receive a ticket to line up first for the Culture Night Food if they go into a classroom and check out the learning students have worked so hard on! We would love for families to dress up in cultural attire if they have some! We love celebrating the diverse population of McElwain and hope to see all of you, and the food is fantastic and free!

Have a fantastic weekend! Hope to see you next week!
