We are soon going to be on Christmas Break. Normally MCES teachers and staff have a lot of fun with the students the last week so we would like to have some remote fun. Starting Monday, on the Wabash Community Unit School District 348, Facebook page we will set up a post for students to add their photo for each particular day. If they have siblings or older students want to participate they can. Monday will be wear your ugly Christmas sweater day. If your child wants to participate, please be looking for the post and attach their picture in the comments. I will send out a message the day before on what the next day is, or it is listed on MCES website https://www.wabash348.com/o/mces Looking for a lot of participation. If you don't want your child's picture to be public you can add it to the class Facebook page if they have one. Merry Christmas - Mrs. Odom

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.
Starting the week of December 14th, MCES would like to have a little virtual fun. We have planned special dress up days and hope the children will participate from home. To give an early heads up here are the days:
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
Friday - December 18 - Virtual Christmas Party Day
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.

Attention Parents - it is very important that your child is completing his/her online assignments. Teachers will not have time to reteach all the materials that your child will miss when the students return to school. Students should be signing into Seesaw every school day and working on their lessons. These assignments may be for grades and you and your child are responsible. Please check the district website for information pertaining to internet all over the community. The office of MCES is open from 8 - 2 if you need to call. Thank you, Mrs. Odom
Attention girls in grades K - 2, there will be a Drive Thru Registration for Girl Scouts tonight, Tuesday November 17 from 5:30 - 6:30 p.m. If your child is interested in joining Girl Scouts please come. This will be in the Mt. Carmel Elementary School parking lot @ 1300 N Walnut.
