Hello Mountaineers! I hope we are not asking too much of all of you. However, we currently have three fundraising events going on at MPES. Today is the first day of our official fundraiser at school. Please look for a letter coming home today that details all the prizes. A HUGE “THANK YOU” to all of you who have already started selling chocolate! Additionally, our student council is starting to put together sunshine boxes to send to western NC. Please send in small items suitable for these boxes if you are willing to help. Please call the school if you have questions. The 3rd fundraiser going on is a “change war” between classes. The change war is raising money for the Surry County Schools Education Foundation which supports field trips and other educational experiences for students. We greatly appreciate your assistance with any or all of the projects. Thanks again for making Mountain Park a wonderful community to learn and grow up in.
Our chocolate fundraiser is in full force! Check out the awesome prizes your student can earn by helping raise money for our school!
Help us send a smile to our friends in Western North Carolina!
Good evening Mountain Park. This week, our fundraiser officially starts on Monday. Please look for information coming home with your child tomorrow. On Tuesday, we will have Mountain Park Spirit Night at El Agavero restaurant in Mount Airy. Although this restaurant is a distance away, the owners are generous with their school support. Please join us if you can! There is no school for students on Thursday or Friday. Thursday is parent-teacher conference day. If your child’s teacher has not contacted you with an appointment time, please call the school. Looking ahead, fall picture day is Monday, October 14th. If you are interested, Salvation Army sign ups for Christmas assistance will be October 21-25 at the Salvation Army Church in Mount Airy. Information can be found on their website. Thank you for your continued support of Mountain Park Elementary.
We had so much fun for Rock Your School that we had to make another post!
Chocolate went home yesterday for our Fall fundraiser and we already have a whole box sold! Great job, Declan!
Who's next to sell their box?
Mountain Park was rocking today! Our building was transformed into a school of rock and exciting learning.
It's National Custodian Day and we couldn't let this day pass without expressing our gratitude for our two favorite custodians. We are so thankful for Ms. Rhonda and Mr. Andrew.
It's time for our Change War! From now until the end of the month we are collecting change. The class that raises the most money will win an ice cream party!
Mrs Arrington and Mrs Pierce’s class learned about how solids and liquids can make a gas. They used ice cream and grape soda to make purple fizzy cows.
Out of an abundance of caution, Surry County Schools will operate on a two-hour delay on Tuesday, October 1, 2024. This delay will help with visibility for bus drivers and allow additional time for families to safely commute to school campuses. Students who ride the bus should plan to arrive at their bus stop two hours later than they normally would. Thank you, have a good evening, and be safe tomorrow!
Hello Mountaineers! This week on Tuesday, the Friendly Dental van will be at Mountain Park. On Tuesday evening at 5:00, the PTO will be meeting in the picnic shelter. Our school fundraiser will be kicking off on October 7th. Please look for information coming home soon. Looking ahead, El Agavero restaurant in Mount Airy will be hosting a spirit night for Mountain Park on October 8th. Also, there is no school for students on October 10th or 11th. October 10th is reserved for parent conferences. Teachers are making appointments to meet with parents and guardians on the 10th. If you have not heard from your child’s teacher about a conference time, please call the school. Thank you for your continued support of Mountain Park Elementary.

EARLY DISMISSAL AND REMOTE LEARNING DAY - HURRICANE HELENE
Due to heavy rain and potential flooding, Surry County Schools will dismiss students at 2:00 p.m. today, Thursday, September 26, 2024. All after-school events and activities are canceled and there will be no after-school childcare this afternoon.
Due to the hazardous weather outlook for tomorrow, which could impact student drivers, bus routes, and overall safety, Friday, September 27, will be a remote learning day for students and staff. Students should check their learning management system for assignments and instructions from their teachers.
