HSE was thrilled to celebrate our School Employee of the Year, Mrs. Malott, at the 2026 MCSD SREY Awards Dinner.
While Mrs. Malott officially serves as our ELL paraprofessional, her impact on our students, our campus, and our entire community extends far beyond any single job title.
Thank you, Mrs. Malott, for the care, dedication, and love you give to so many students every day—and for so many years. 💙🤍

We are SO grateful you spent time reading with your child over Thanksgiving break! 💛 Your support helps them soar in the classroom! 🦅✨
Right now, we’re working on building READING STAMINA 💪📖—the superpower that helps students read for longer without losing focus!
Here’s how you can help at home:
⏱ Set a timer and add 1–2 minutes each night.
📝 Track distractions (TV, toys, pets 🐶🐱).
✔ Use a tally system—goal = ZERO distractions! 🚫
With practice, your child will become a reading champion! 🏆 Let’s keep those pages turning! 📚💫

Did you know that tomorrow, December 4, is National Cookie Day?!

The tip today is to keep your child reading over the Thanksgiving break!
🎉 Sweet Incentive Alert! 🍰
Our district is cooking up something exciting! The classroom in each grade level that racks up the MOST points will win a PIE PARTY! 🥧
So, let’s make reading a big deal during the break! Encourage your child to dive into a book and take an AR quiz. They can do it on any computer—and don’t forget, the public library has computers ready for all patrons. All AR testing must be completed by the end of the day Sunday, November 30th.
So, let's go and turn pages into pies! 📚 ➡ 🥧
We had the very best surprise today when the PRIZE PATROL from EFMC showed up to announce that our very own Mrs. Crystal Brandt has been awarded the top grant prize! 🙌💛
Mrs. Brandt wrote an incredible grant that will benefit all four of our 2nd grade classrooms, providing hands-on materials that will make our math and reading lessons even more engaging, interactive, and alive for our students. 📚➕✨
We are SO proud of you, Mrs. Brandt! Thank you for your creativity, hard work, and dedication to making learning unforgettable for our kids! 👏💛
This month, the Treasure Coast Student Educator Recognition Council celebrates Mrs. Besing as our team member of the month of November.
We are so thankful for all the work Mrs. Besing does to keep our school running smoothly. From the big projects to the small tasks she quietly completes, she is truly the heart of our halls. She greets every student each morning with a smile, and she’s the familiar voice of dismissal that wraps up our school day with warmth and positivity. We appreciate you, Mrs. Besing!

Book Fair Parent Evening!
Please join us tonight and shop with your child. We will have items like posters, finger pointers and fun pens available that were not out for purchase when the students came through with their class. Some teachers have created a wish list while other asked that whatever parents chose for them they would be welcomed to receive it; if you are inclined to purchase for a teacher, tonight is the night! There will also be staff on hand to answer questions about FAST testing, FOCUS parent portal and any other questions you may have.
If you can't make it tonight you are able to shop the on-line Fair. Profits will still benefit the school. Available until Nov. 30th. Click here or copy and paste this in your browser https://mcsdfl-my.sharepoint.com/:v:/g/personal/parrilj_martinschools_org/IQCd_caKfXEUQomTz9vm9xTDAcP_Q-RlJ1iSDuy0029SafE?e=E62KeB to access our home page, scroll to the bottom for online shopping.
Our evening hours are 4-6:30 pm. I hope to see you there.
PS tomorrow the fair is open in the morning for students who did not bring money earlier in the week.
From Saturday, November 22 through Sunday, November 30, our readers can earn Accelerated Reader (AR) points by cozying up with great books at home and completing AR quizzes. Every point counts!
🏆 MCSD team will crown one winning class per grade level (K–5) across all six participating MCSD schools.
🎉 The class in each grade level with the highest total AR points during the challenge will earn a PIE PARTY… plus some major bragging rights!
Thank you for supporting your children as they read at home — your partnership makes all the difference. Let’s turn the pages and trot to the finish! 🍁📖🥧
Friday is a make up day so students who didn't have money when their class first came to shop, can come in the moring up until noon.
Thank you again for your support.
Good news, Martin County families: Thanksgiving Break is almost here, and yes… students and teachers still have the entire week off (Nov. 24–28)! 🙌
Since we didn’t need to use any emergency makeup days this year, the full week remains wide open for rest, gratitude, and perhaps a piece of pie or two. 🥧🦃✨

Here is a cute idea!
Recipe Reading Night!
Turn dinner time into a literacy experience! Choose a simple recipe and have your child:
Read the ingredient list aloud.
Highlight or talk about action verbs like mix, stir, chop, and pour.
Go over the sequence the steps using ordinal words (first, next, then, finally) with your child.
Write or talke about a review of how it turned out or create a “family favorite” cookbook page.
Why it works: Cooking connects reading, writing, and real-world math—while building confidence
and conversation around text! (Taken from district newsletter)
Reminder! Book Fair is here!!! Book Fair Make Up day is Friday.
