Attendance Update 🚦🏃♀️
The Race to Extra Recess has brought some friendly competition to Mennies! Our youngest Marvels showed up in a big way this week and jumped out to an early lead on the game board—Kindergarten has their eyes on that extra recess!
Across the school, the top classes in each grade level are working hard to show up every day and stay focused on learning. We can’t wait to see how things shape up next week!
Remember: good attendance matters—every day in school helps our Marvels grow, learn, and succeed. Every Marvel. Every Day. 💙⭐

The Mennies art room is always full of excitement! 🎨❄️ Today, our first graders were busy creating snowmen, working together with lots of glue to build the base of their masterpieces. The laughter and joy filling the room were absolutely contagious. Everyone loves art with Ms. Cook—where creativity and fun come together every single day!

Mennies first graders in Mrs. Myerson’s class jumped right back into learning after winter break! Students are working hard to become Marvel Readers. While Mrs. Myerson pulls small groups for targeted instruction, students engage in hands-on center activities around the room using flexible seating. The energy during the DI reading block is evident—students are focused, engaged, and excited about their learning. We love seeing our young Marvels working hard and growing every day! ⭐📚💙

🚀 Race to Recess is ON! 🚀
To keep our positive attendance momentum going, we’ve launched a brand-new game board and homeroom leaderboard for our latest challenge: Race to Recess! 🏁
Here’s how classes move forward:
93% or higher attendance → Grade level moves 1 space
95% or higher attendance → Grade level moves 2 spaces
97% or higher attendance → Grade level moves 3 spaces
🎉 Incentives that make it Marvelous:
🏆 Winning grade level earns extra recess with admin + a dress-down day!
🍪 Top class in each grade level earns a cookie party
⭐ Overall top class in the school earns a special prize!
📌 This challenge is all about goal setting—tracking progress, celebrating growth, and working together toward a shared goal. When students see their attendance make a difference, motivation grows!
✨ Every Marvel Matters. Every Day Counts.
And remember—this isn’t just about attendance for attendance’s sake. Students who are chronically absent are at the highest risk of being below grade level. Being present is step one of learning!
Let’s keep the excitement high and the goals in sight! 💙💛
Here's a sneak preview of our grades and classes in the lead!
