Ms. Freer's 5th Grade AAP class had the opportunity to connect with their reading buddies in Ms. Mobley's kindergarten class at McNair Primary!
Hello MUES Families,
The last day of school is inching closer and summer is in the air! The past two days at MUES have been filled with some much excitement. On Thursday, Ms. Smith and Ms. Luck hosted a fun-filled Field Day where students participated in a variety of team building activities. A big thank you to both Ms. Smith and Ms. Luck for organizing this day for our Mustangs. I would also like to thank our specialists team and so many parent volunteers for helping to run the games and stations that our Mustangs participated in.
We also welcomed our rising third grade students to MUES as they toured their new school and got to meet many teachers and staff members who will work with them when the new school year begins in late August. The highlight of our day on Thursday was when we welcomed back to the Mustang community our graduating seniors who spent their elementary years at McNair. Some have moved onto other high schools to include a move to Manassas, yet they chose to come back and spend their afternoon with us. Once a Mustang, Always a Mustang!
Today brought more entertainment as we cheered on many of our Mustangs who performed in our first-ever MUES Talent Show. The acts that our students and even some staff members performed were amazing! MUES definitely has talent!
A big thank you to Ms. Scott for spearheading this event, which quickly became one of our favorite events of the year. We hope to make this an annual MUES tradition like our March Madness Staff vs. 6th Grade Student Basketball Game. I would also like to extend my appreciation to the specialists team for supporting Ms. Scott's vision for this event. As we celebrate our final three days of the school year, don't forget that we have a few more dress up days.
Here are next week's themes:
- Monday, June 9th: Surfer or Skater Day- Dress like a surfer or skater.
- Tuesday, June 10th: Somewhere on a Beach- Wear your favorite summer outfit and bring a beach towel or beach blanket!
- Wednesday, June 11th: End of the School Year Blues- Wear your McNair spirit wear or blue/white to celebrate the last day of the 24-25 school year!
Don't forget that the McNair PTA's "Movie Under the Stars" is happening this evening. Arrival begins at 7:00 PM with the movie starting after the sunset. Remember to bring your blankets, beach towels, or lawn chairs with you.
Even though rain is expected some this weekend, I hope that it is a wonderful one for everyone!
Sincerely,
Melissa Goddin
Your Proud Principal

Throughout the summer, McNair Upper staff and volunteers will visit three community sites and bring books for our Mustangs to borrow. We will visit each site weekly so that students can pick new books each week. Popsicles and other incentives will be provided for students who return their books and share what they read! Please see the attached flyer for more information.
Do you have a Middle or High School students who loves volunteering or needs service hours for graduation? Mrs. Janofsky would welcome volunteers to help with book distribution at each site. Interested students should email Mrs. Janofsky at mljanofsky@fcps.edu.

The school health room is reminding parents and guardians that all medication stored in the health room must be picked up no later than the student dismissal time on the last day of school. As a friendly reminder, the last day of school is Wednesday, June 11th. Students will be dismissed at 1:30 PM.
Medication left in the health room after that time will be destroyed. It is school policy that medications must be picked up by the parent or guardian. Medication cannot be sent home with your student. If your student will be enrolled in a summer program sponsored by Fairfax County Public Schools, the existing medication authorization form(s) may be used for the summer program, but you will need to pick up the medication on the last day of school and deliver the medication and completed forms to the summer learning site on the first day of the summer program. Please let the health room know if you would like a copy of the form(s).
