I am excited to share with you that we will have 4 new team members this year at MES. Our team has worked through the month of June to recruit and hire new staff that bring with them a passion for children and learning that will accentuate our mission of "At Milton Elementary, We Put KIDS First!"
In 4th grade, we will welcome Mrs. Beth Kays coming to us from Carroll County. In our sensory classroom, we welcome Ms. Janet Geyman (teacher) and Mr. Patrick Wooley (IA). We also welcome Ms. Shellee Boyer as our new kindergarten IA. I will be posting profiles for each in the next few of weeks.
We are very excited to begin the year with a focus on "Dreaming with Determination!" Watch for more information about our theme for this year.
Supply lists are now available on the webpage under documents for the 2019-20 academic year. 4th grade will be posted soon as we have a new 4th grade teacher this year. :-)
