MCHS is participating in the Sunrise School Spirit through 14News on October 13, 2023. We are asking for donations of unexpired and nonperishable items. Students and staff may donate items at MCES, as well as other locations throughout town, between August 28-October 10. All items collected will be given to the Tri-State Food Bank. The class that collects the most items in each grade level will receive a pizza party. Please consider contributing to this event to make it a success! More details to come about the event on October 13!
Mark your calendars! FALL School Picture Day dates for Wabash #348 are as follows: MCHS - September 6th / MCJHS - September 7th / MCGS - September 20th / MCES ECE/Kindergarten - September 26th / MCES 1st & 2nd Grade - September 27th.

District #348 Preschool for All will be conducting Child Find/Preschool Screenings for children ages 3 to 5 who are not yet enrolled in public schools and who are not kindergarten eligible.
The screening checks each child’s progress in hearing, vision, speech, language, and coordination skills. This will give parents a better idea of how their child is progressing at this very young age before they begin school. This screening program is free and parents will receive immediate feedback on how their child is developing. Head Start personnel will also be present to explain their program and services. Screenings will be held on August 29th, August 30th and August 31st. A limited amount of developmental screening for children ages 0-3 are also available. The screening procedure takes about 45 minutes, and appointments must be made so that children do not have a long wait period.
Parents should call 618-262-4623 to make an appointment or to get more information.
As we get closer to the beginning of the new school year, I need to bring attention to the work on the Elementary School parking lot. This work will continue for another few days and will at times close the entire parking lot. I ask that you be patient and understanding. The lot was in complete disrepair, and we are excited to have a stronger and safer lot ready to the new school year. Go Aces!
