Have an amazing summer with your child! This is great time for a little rest and relaxation and lots of family time. Give your child opportunities to keep them physically active, to learn, read to them and with them, and enjoy the outdoors. Intentionally plan and talk about screen time with your child. We will be ready to welcome them back at the end of summer! Summer has a way of flying by.

This week's STUDENT MISSION:

Help Our Students Build Their Skills – Become a Tutor!

MES is looking for tutors for the 2024-25 school year. You can take action in our community by giving your time and talent to help students build their skills and confidence!

Tutors work with students during school hours throughout the school year. No matter if you’re a recent grad, career changer, stay-at-home parent or retiree, you can make a great tutor. With training and on-site coaching, we’ll prepare you to help kids succeed.

Part-time and full-time positions are available beginning in August, October and January. Tutors receive a paycheck every two weeks plus up to an additional $5,100 for college tuition or loans. Tutors 55+ may gift the education award to their child, grandchild, stepchild or foster child.
