    MLS Night of Excellence Expo & Family Picnic - Thursday, May 25, 6 p.m. at MLS


  Mark your calendars!  There will be a Night of Excellence Expo and Family Picnic on Thursday, May 25th, at 6:00pm, at MLS.  From 6:00pm-6:30pm, the students (K-5) will present two projects that highlight their work at school in a wide range of academic subjects. These projects have been specially selected by the students and their teachers to represent the work they are most proud of for the year.  Please check in first with your children's individual classroom.  After that, feel free to visit other grades and don't forget additional projects will be on display in the Gymnasium and Library.

Following the Expo, there will be a picnic on the soccer field. Families
are encouraged to bring a picnic dinner, spread a blanket and catch up with MLS friends about what's in store for summertime.

Let's make the Expo and Picnic a terrific end of the year event and a new Meriwether Lewis tradition!  Please note:  Rain cancels picnic but not Expo.
