Thursday Calf Pen Meadow went Gold to raise awareness and support for pediatric cancer. It was powerful to see so many of our students and staff wearing gold to support this cause. Feel free to learn more and raise awareness by visiting American Childhood Cancer Organization. We appreciate so many of our students going gold with us!
Thank you to MPS Food Service for providing a special treat for all students on Thursday with lunch. What a nice way to celebrate our first full month of school being complete!
