A huge thank you to the many parents and volunteers that showed up to help us with Field Day and the BBQ today! What a wonderful day it was!

Wishing all our families a joyful, relaxing, and adventurous summer break! Enjoy the sunshine, make wonderful memories, and stay safe — have fun and we’ll see you in the fall! ☀️🌻🎒

Our 5th grade team started a new Legacy Project for our students moving on to middle school. Each student measured their boards to their height and were tasked with creating a proportional self portrait. It looks AMAZING out there! Great job, team!

More boards are going up soon. Make sure to stop and take a peek! ❤️

Hi, MZE families! Please stop by and check out our Lost and Found items in our music/recess hall before the school year ends. We are bursting at the seams with jackets, hats, gloves, boots, and more! Anything left at the school will be donated on May 26th. Thank you!
