A little joy was spread over our beautiful community yesterday! If you captured a photo yesterday of the rainbows over Mountain Park post them in the comments below.
Good Morning Mountaineers! This is your principal Matt Scott with a quick update.
Our Fall Festival will be here soon. We’ll be hosting it here at school on October 26 from 5:30-7:30. We really need bags of candy for the festival prizes. If you can help, send your bags and we will collect them in the front office. Please mark your calendars to come attend this fun-filled evening.
Also, our chocolate bar fundraiser only has a week left. All money is due back next Friday, Oct. 27th. Please help us make a final push and sell all our boxes!
Those are the only announcements for tonight. I hope you have a great weekend.
Pre K did an experiment to see how germs live on their hands and how important hand washing is. They want to remind everyone to wash their hands and to not be germ helpers!
Good Evening Mountaineers! This is your principal Matt Scott with this week’s updates.
Our Mountain Park fundraiser kicked off on Thursday. Chocolate bars came home with students at that time. Once you sell those chocolate bars, you may sign and return a form for another box of chocolate bars. Thank you so much for your support of this school fundraiser.
This week our 1st graders will be taking benchmarks, and 3rd - 5th graders will be taking NC Check-Ins. Please make sure students arrive in time to get their free breakfast here at school and are well rested. We look forward to showing off how much we are learning at Mountain Park this year!

We have a change war going on at Mountain Park. All grade levels are involved and we are raising funds for the Surry County Schools Educational Foundation and the United Fund of Surry. The class that raises the most money will receive an ice cream party. So talk to your family and friends and bring in any loose change you can find to help raise money for these great causes.
Those are all the announcements for tonight. I look forward to seeing our Mountaineers back on campus tomorrow.
Who loves chocolate? We do! Our chocolate fundraiser started today with a fun assembly. Our school goal is for every family to sell one box. It's not too late to pick up a box and to help us raise money for our school!
Kindergarten enjoyed the Dot Dot Dot Play at the Andy Griffith Playhouse then played hard at Dobson Park! They even had a special guest stop by to play!
Angel Tree Sign-ups are at Mountain Park today from 1:30-6 p.m. or tomorrow from 9 a.m.-3 p.m.

It's time for our Fall Chocolate Fundraiser! The funds raised by this fundraiser go towards educational supplies and technology for all students at MPES! Help us reach our goal of $5,000 by selling one box or more! Thank you for supporting MPES!
First Grade had a wonderful time at The Farm on Thursday! They got to pick their very own pumpkin and had a puppet show with Spookley.
September leaders of the month were treated to Pizza with the Principal on Friday, September 29. Students were chosen as leaders of the month for demonstrating the leadership attribute of accountability. These students took ownership of their actions, and their learning. We are proud of the September leaders!

Our Chocolate Bar Fundraiser will kickoff this on Thursday of this week. Students were given check-out forms on Friday. Students must bring that form back signed in order to receive their chocolate bars. We have lots of great prizes listed and other information on the bottom of the sheet that came home Friday. We do not do many fundraisers, so we really need every student to sell at least one box.
Picture Day is Monday! Reminders came home Friday and no money is needed. Our Grow Strong Running Team will practice on Monday until 4, but will NOT practice on Thursday since we dismiss at 1:00 on Thursday. Please make sure all running club 5K permission forms are turned in to Mrs. Marion as soon as possible. On Tuesday, our 1st Grade will visit the Andy Griffith Playhouse and our Kindergarteners will visit on Wednesday. The Robotics Team will practice after school on Tuesday until 4:30. Again, on Thursday, we will dismiss at 1:00 and there will be no school on Friday.
We are already collecting several jackets that have been left or lost. Please help us find the owner of lost jackets by placing the name of your student in them.

On Friday, we celebrated our Donut (Do not) Ever Give Up Award Winners with a doughnut breakfast. Over the month of September these students demonstrated great perseverance and determination in the classroom. They always give 110% effort no matter if the task is challenging or easy. We are very proud of these hard working students. #itsagreatdaytobeamountaineer
