This Friday at the end of the school day there will be a whole-school assembly. This week's assembly will be aimed at engaging all students in fun activities, such as group dances, and learning/refreshing M.E. School traditions, such as singing the M.E. School Song together. This type of assembly will occur once a month.
On future Fridays, M.E. School Friday Afternoon Showcase (FASC) events will be held by grade in rotation. This means at the end of each week when there is not a whole-school assembly, there will be a single-grade Friday Afternoon Showcase. The grade-level FASC events will be similar to traditional FASC in that we will recognize special awards and achievements, Students of the Month, and birthdays for the month. We will also showcase student work and performances at the grade level assemblies.
Over time, we have recognized the number of people in the gym for traditional FASC activities can be an uncomfortable challenge for many students and even adults. Our gym space is small and not truly designed for the size of the event once all students and many parents are there. We want to share performances with parents and we want parents to be able to know when their student(s) perform. With smaller student audience groups for these special activities, we believe everyone will be better able to enjoy the show.
Look for more information about the FASC events in future newsletters and on this website.
