From the Office: The first week of 2019 at MP was amazing. Your student(s) worked really hard and it was a super positive and productive week full of learning and laughing. We are working on ‘perseverance’ in January. We are also honoring the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Please consider how your family can do community service on Jan 21 or this month. There are so many ways to be involved in our PTA, our school, or our community; we welcome your involvement. We appreciate everyone’s patience in our parking lot and on Meridian; slow please, share, and take turns. We are a great school community because of all of us working together. See you soon!
