PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Dear MES,
As my time here draws to a close, I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to each of you. These years have been filled with incredible memories, learning experiences, and friendships that I will cherish forever.
Thank you for the unwavering support, guidance, and encouragement that have helped shape our community. I am so proud of our students and staff at MES. Whether in classrooms, assemblies, or any of our special events, the dedication to excellence and passion for learning is inspiring for all.
Although I am moving on, I know MES is in for great leadership with Mrs. Thomson moving in as principal. You should look forward to the future with optimism, knowing that the foundation laid is in place for students to continue to reach their full potential.
Wishing you all the best summer break,
Joe Thiessen
