Our students have had the best time with the APEX team today! Team Cade squared up against CrissCross on Blookit, Team Cooper played duck-duck-goose and red-light green-light, Team Todd played board games, and Team Buchanan got to play 4-corners with Sir Xander! Thank you Apex, and thank YOU ALL for all the support!
In the past two days Team Bowden has received the Apex chain and gotten to pie Sir Xander for winning the first login challenge! Team Martin got to pie CrissCross for being the 4th/5th grade winners for logging in, and Team Beasley got to pie Macho Matt for crushing yesterday's challenge! Team Horne got to mummify Macho Matt, Team Abernathy and Team Bowden got to mummify CrissCross! We are having so much fun, learning about being leaders, and raising funds for our school!
Today's word was PROACTIVE! Ask your student about the proactive lesson that they learned today in class, and have them show you their Apex cheer!

Good evening Patriot families,
Tomorrow, October 30th is a teacher workday. There is no school for students.
Tuesday, October 31st there will be no costumes allowed. Please wear regular school attire.
Friday afternoon, November 3rd is the Pizza Party for all students who turned in their Principal Book Club log and read 25 books for Quarter 1! I am so proud of you.
Finally, Monday, November 6, Q1 report cards will be going home with students and will include a paper that shows what your child's standards for their grade is. Hopefully this will help families know what is expected by the end of the year in user friendly language.
Have a great evening. See you Tuesday!
Families,
Don't forget that the logs for the Principals Book Club are due tomorrow. They cannot be accepted late! I have re-shared the digital link on our MCES Facebook page. You can fill it out online and email it to Mrs. Dunn or print it off if you've misplaced your paper one and send it to school tomorrow. I can't wait to celebrate with everyone soon!

Good evening Patriot families, this is a reminder that Picture Day is tomorrow, Monday, October 16th. This will be for individual pictures as well as class pictures. There is not a spring picture day, so this year take advantage of this fall opportunity if that is something you are interested in. Please do not dress your child in green clothing tomorrow due to the pictures being taken on a green screen. This feature allows you to choose the background color after picture day, but also makes green clothing disappear into the background. If something happens or your child is sick, there is a make up picture day scheduled for November 16th. Thank you and have a great evening.
Veda Swan, a fifth grade student at McGee's Crossroads Elementary, received a Character Education Award for the trait of Respect!
Swan continuously demonstrates a level of maturity in the school setting, and she models positive behavior for her peers. When she does not agree with the opinions of others, she is able to express that in a respectful manner. Swan is welcoming to all of her classmates, and treats everyone as equals.
Patriot Nation, let's hear it for Veda Swan!!! 👏👏👏
Bus 647 Grey is now leaving campus at 4:30. Expect drop off delays. Thank you!
