Mrs. Gordon’s Kindergarten class went out to water the pumpkin patch planted this summer by Mrs Gordon. The goal for the pumpkin patch is to teach the life cycle of a pumpkin to the Kindergarten classes and hopefully every Kindergartener will have their own pumpkin to dissect! The seeds will be cleaned and planted by the classes so that the tradition may continue to grow each year until every grade level may participate in this year long science experience!
These three students are the first ever "Principal's Picks" for their artwork! Mr. Newkirk selects one classroom creation from each grade and displays it (weekly) near the main entrance for all to see their creativity.
MCES is in the running for a $1,000 gift for us to use for our students. Please go to https://wkdq.com/my-school-rules-illinois-voting/ to help us win!
Thank you to everyone who came out to the Back to School bash! We had roughly 200 kiddos out there this evening, what a great turn out!
Special thanks to Back Yard Bouncin’ for always taking great care of us! Shout out to the Sno Shack for the yummy treats! Lastly to our awesome staff for coming out and volunteering their time to making it fun and run smoothly!
SEPTEMBER 8th and SEPTEMBER 9th @ Mt. Carmel Grade School, parents do not need to be present. Dental Safari is a mobile dentistry unit that is based out of Southern Illinois. They provide dental services to students who do not have access to a dentist or a dental home. Wabash Community School District #348 has teamed up with Dental Safari to provide dental services to those students who do not have access to dental services. Dental Safari will provide a dental exam, dental cleaning and dental sealants. All Kindergarten, 2nd grade, 6th grade and 9th grade students are required to have a dental exam completed prior to the end of the school year, so if you lack access to a dentist this opportunity may be just for you. If you would like for your child to participate in this service please scan the barcode on the flyer and complete the form. If you have any questions please feel free to call 618-262-5104. Thank you! Stephanie Kolb RN, BSN, PEL-CSN.

Here comes the fun!
More Summer School Photos
I want to give a special shout out to the teachers and the students of MCES summer school. The students said they learned a lot and had fun. Today is the last day and they celebrated with water balloon fights, games and ice cream.
Today is the day for Kindergarten Graduation - Please save the parking lot for people who struggle walking. There will be people helping you with parking so please follow directions. There will be some parking in the Pre-K parking lot. The students will be going back to their room and the teachers will dismiss at their normal areas after the program is totally finished. We will need to clear the parking lot quickly, so please only the parent picking up the child will need to stay. I know this is inconvenient but I appreciate your cooperation. There will be a place to come forward and take a photo during the ceremony, again if only one person would take the photo that would be helpful. Please don't forget your chair, parking lot opens at 12:15 and program starts at 1:00. Looking forward to celebrating with you.
This is a reminder from MCES that Kindergarten Graduation is Thursday, May 13 at 1:00 p.m. in the front parking lot of the school. Please bring your own chair. There will be a few parking spots in the parking lot for those who cannot walk far, the rest will have to park in the street or at Pre-K. Please carpool if you can parking is very limited. Thank you for letting us work with your children this year!
