Dots took over Mountain Park today, and now they're taking over your timeline. Get ready to see some more Dot fun with our next group of pictures!
The fun thing about Dot Day is.....EVERYTHING! We loved wearing dots, eating Dots, making dots, and decorating with dots!
We can't tell who had more fun on Dot Day, the staff or students? What do you think?
Happy dot day from the mountaineers! Dot day is an international day of celebrating creativity and "making your mark!” It originates from Peter Reynolds’s book “the dot”.
Mrs Wilkins worked hard prepping MPE for dot day!
Mountaineers participated by creating dot artwork in art class, eating dot candy and cookies, searching for golden dots to win prizes, and they also created a collaborative “obliteration room” inspired by the artwork of Yayoi Kusama in which every student added dot stickers to a completely white space. Stay tuned for our time lapse video of the process and lots more pictures!

MPES leaders are starting the year off demonstrating self-awareness! Each month we like to celebrate students who are a representation of our leadership characteristic of the month. In the month of August, students were chosen for showing great self-awareness. Showing self-awareness means that students are able to express their feelings, what they care about, what they like, and their strengths and weaknesses. We are very proud of our student leaders! #itsagreatdaytobeamountaineer
On Friday, we celebrated our first group students that earned the "Doughnut Give Up" Award. Students who earned this award have shown grit, tenacity and resiliency throughout the month of August. We are proud of these student leaders for setting the example of how to persevere when presented with a challenge! Way to go Mountaineers! #itsagreatdaytobeamountaineer
