Welcome Back!
We have been working hard this past month to have everything ready for the start of the new year. The staff at MCE is incredible. Your student's and I are lucky to have such a dedicated staff. The classrooms are coming together beautifully, many thanks to our custodial team, and will be ready to greet all our learners on July 29th!
I wanted to share a bit about myself so you can get to know me better. I began my career in the Indianapolis Public School district before moving to Plainfield Community Schools, and now Mill Creek East. My husband and I have been married for 33 years and have 5 children and 5 grandchildren. Our youngest will be a sophomore at Plainfield High School. She is a golfer and is in the school's show choir. My husband teaches math at Plainfield Middle School and one of my daughters teaches 3rd grade at Clarks Creek Elementary school in Plainfield. I love to travel and love to read. My husband and I have been members at Plainfield Christian Church for over 20 years. We look forward to getting to know more about the Mill Creek community in the coming months.
If you do not follow our school on Facebook please find Mill Creek East Elementary and Mill Creek East PTO. Both pages will update information regularly about events at school. I had the chance to meet with our amazing PTO co-Presidents, Mindy Roe and Whitney Kern, last week. They have many exciting plans for the upcoming school year. Our PTO is a strong organization that is always looking for extra hands. Please consider joining them and attending their meetings as you are able. They will have a table with more information at our supply drop off night.
If you have any questions please feel free to email me at amennonno@mccsc.k12.in.us

We will unload and load 5 cars at a time and release them all at the same time. We do not want any moving cars as children are unloading or loading.

Meet the Teacher Night - Tuesday, August 2nd 6:00-7:25 p.m. Come and meet your child's teacher! You only need to attend one time slot for each child.
