Our Kindergarteners had a blast today during their Fun in the Sun Day! ☀️
They have worked so hard all year mastering sight words, learning to read, building math skills, and growing in so many ways. Today was all about celebrating their hard work and letting them play hard, too! We are so proud of all they have accomplished this year! 💛🎉

We had a wonderful conclusion to our Field Days! 🎉 Our 4th and 5th graders had their big day on Monday, and 2nd and 3rd grade wrapped up the fun on Tuesday! From exciting games to some great targets in the dunking booth, everyone had a fantastic time making memories with friends and teachers.
A huge thank you to Coach Hurley for planning such an awesome experience for our students and Coach Taylor for helping carry out the vision! We appreciate all the hard work that made these days so special! 🐺💙

🌱 Green Thumbs in Action! 🌱
Our garden got some extra love this morning thanks to Mrs. Ochoa’s amazing class! 🥕🍅
While getting their hands dirty, our students became little botanists—discussing the different parts of a plant and learning exactly how vegetables grow from tiny seeds to harvest. 🧠✨
The team worked hard to plant: 🍅 Tomatoes 🥒 Cucumbers 🫑 Peppers
The best part? These homegrown veggies will provide fresh, healthy snacks for our school animals all summer long! 🐰🐢
Way to go, Mrs. Ochoa’s class, for helping our garden (and our furry friends) thrive!

Spring is bringing so much excitement to STEM! 🐣🦋 From watching brand new butterflies emerge to cheering on our baby chicks as they hatch (we’re up to 5 now!), our students are getting a front-row seat to the wonder of new life. We love seeing curiosity, discovery, and a little bit of magic come alive right here at school this spring! 🌷💛

A big thank you to Coach Hurley and also Coach Taylor and all of our amazing 5th grade helpers for creating such fun and memorable days for our PEC students, Kindergarteners, and 1st graders!

This week, we are celebrating our amazing school nurses! ❤️
School nurses are so much more than a helping hand when students don’t feel well. They are comforters, caregivers, problem-solvers, and calm voices during difficult moments. Every day, they care for our students with patience, compassion, and kindness, helping keep our school safe, healthy, and supported.
We are incredibly grateful for all they do behind the scenes and the love they show our school family each and every day. Thank you for being the heart of care in our school! 🩺✨

It’s Teacher Appreciation Week, and we want to take a moment to celebrate the incredible teachers who pour their hearts into our school every single day. 💙
Teachers are encouragers, listeners, cheerleaders, problem-solvers, caregivers, and so much more. They wear countless hats and make a lasting difference in the lives of our students in ways big and small.
If a teacher at MAES has made an impact on your child or your family, we would love for you to share a kind note or memory in the comments. We’ll make sure they see every word of encouragement and appreciation! 🍎✨

💙 Kindness Matters Monday 💙
Today we are celebrating a student who showed kindness and encouragement in such a meaningful way! While classmates worked hard to master a new song on the xylophones and recorders, Zaire cheered on several classmates without ever being prompted or asked. His positive words and support helped encourage others to keep trying and do their best!
Thank you for spreading kindness and positivity through encouragement! 🎶👏

Second grade had an amazing time yesterday as they ventured out to Truist Park for a special tour! Students enjoyed sitting in the Atlanta Braves dugout, visiting the press box, and exploring many other behind-the-scenes areas of the stadium.
With the Braves currently holding the best record in Major League Baseball, our students got the chance to walk where the players walk and experience the greatness of America’s classic pastime firsthand. What a memorable day!
Go Braves! ⚾
