As we approach the second semester of the 2020-21 school year, this is a reminder that January 4th is a remote learning day and January 5th is scheduled for returning to in-person instruction. If your child opted to be a remote learner in the first semester but now wants to return to in-person instruction, you are required to contact the school office one day in advance. As usual, Wabash CUSD #348 will be maintaining all COVID-19 safety precautions and will continue to work with the Wabash County Health Department to make the best decisions when considering safety factors. We at District #348 are looking forward to the second semester of this school year. Thank you, and as always, stay safe and Go Aces!
MCES 1st grade donates $220 to the Hope Pregnancy Center thanks to the generosity of everyone at the Christmas drive through.
First Grade at MCES celebrated their Christmas Party with their students by having a drive through on Thursday, December 15. They stood out on Tuesday night from 4:30 - 6:30 and it was cold, but they had fun.
Well MCES virtual week is coming to a close. Tomorrow we will be posting our Virtual Christmas Party pictures. Please post your child's best Christmas picture tomorrow.

MCES teachers practiced with a google meets call to see if the internet at the school could handle all the teachers at the same time. It was a learning experience.
This is a reminder from MCES that if you have not paid your child's school fees, then please do so by December 18. Also, if you have not turned in your child's fundraiser money it has been added to your child's indebted list in LUMEN. Please check LUMEN to see what your child owes. Any money not turned in is hurting our children.

Monday - December 14 - Ugly Christmas Sweater
Tuesday - December 15 - Elf Day or wear red
Wednesday - December 16 - Grinch Day or wear green
Thursday - December 17 - Polar Express Day - Stay in your pajamas

Please be looking for more information to come on how your children can participate.
I want to express a very special thank you to Kristina Sloss and Meredith Alka for hosting "The First Ever Wabash County Co-Ed Softball Tournament". With the help of the community and MCES faculty and staff with donations of money, items and time they were able to donate $2,400 to Mt. Carmel Elementary School and we so deeply appreciate it. This tournament was not school sponsored.
