Awesome kindness challenge from the Grinch today! He was sneaky. It took us a while to find him this morning!
A huge thank you to St. Luke’s Hospital for their generous sponsorship, and to all the dedicated volunteers who made today’s event a success. A special thanks to Mr. Rhode’s and Mr. Craft’s classes the MHS Wrestling Team , St. Luke’s Hospital staff, as well as the parents, students, and USD 408 staff who contributed their time and effort to support our students. Your support is greatly appreciated!
MES students had an exciting and educational experience today as they explored the Kansas State Department of Education’s (KSDE) Body Venture Exhibit! This engaging, 11-station exhibit began in the lunchroom, where students embarked on an interactive journey through the human body. They learned how food is digested, how nutrients are absorbed, and how vital organs like the stomach, intestines, heart, lungs, bones, and muscles work together to keep us healthy. The exhibit finishes with students exiting through a cut in the skin and a final station to recap everything they learned. We are incredibly grateful that our students had the opportunity to participate in this unique and enriching learning experience!
