QUOTE OF THE WEEK
We must not allow the clock and the calendar to blind us to the fact that each moment of life is a miracle and mystery.

THANK YOU
A HUGE thank you is owed to the entire MRES community for helping us make this school year so successful. We have an incredible staff that is committed to making sure each child is successful. We also have incredibly dedicated and generous parents who support us in so many ways. Lastly, but most importantly, we have highly motivated students who are at the core of what we do and who motivate all of us to help them achieve their potential. These ingredients are why I believe MRES is a very unique and special place and why we are successful.

LAST DAY OF SCHOOL
Our last day of school is this Thursday, June 11, 2009. School will dismiss at 1:40.

COMPASS LEARNING FOR THE SUMMER
Compass Learning will be available for all returning students to use over the summer. Please make sure to take advantage of it and continue to have your child use the program as you see fit throughout the summer months.

STAFF/STUDENT SOFTBALL GAME
On Tuesday, June 9 many of our fabulous MRES staff will face off against our impressive 5th grade students for a fun game of softball. I am looking forward to a great time and an exciting game.

FIFTH GRADE PROMOTION
It is hard to believe that the time has arrived to say goodbye to our fifth graders and send them on to middle school. Our 5th grade promotion will take place on Wednesday, June 10 at 10:00 in the MPR. Cameras and lots of tissues are a must to bring.

ORDER NEXT YEAR’S SCHOOL SUPPLIES ON-LINE
Our PTA has created a unique and easy way to purchase your child’s school supplies for next school year. Your supplies can now be purchased on-line for the following grades: K, 3, 4 and 5. Supplies were specifically chosen to teacher specifications. Simply go to www.innisbrook.com, select Buy School Supplies, enter our school number: 113869, and click and pay. Your child’s Back-to-School Pack will ship directly to our school before the first day of class. However, orders must be placed by June 25th to ensure delivery of supplies. Supply/request lists for PEPP, 1st and 2nd grade will be posted on our website shortly so check back soon.

BACK TO SCHOOL
Our first day of school next year will be Thursday, August 20, 2009. Classroom assignments will be posted in the front of the school at 4:00 P.M. on Tuesday, August 18.

KINDERGARTEN MEET THE TEACHER
Students and parents of Kindergartners are invited to come and “Meet the Teacher” from 3:00 –4:00 pm in their classroom on August 19. Mark your calendar for this exciting day.

Dr. Rich Newman.
