RESTAURANT NIGHT - CRAZY MASON, MARCH 13TH

Our next restaurant night is just around the corner and we think this will be a favorite amongst our students! Join us Monday, March 13 at The Crazy Mason Milkshake Bar and receive a custom MWES jar with your milkshake order! There are only 120 custom jars, so be sure to hurry in. 

*All milkshake orders after 4:00PM will receive a custom MWES jar, even if it is not the order of an MWES family.

**If the custom jars run out prior to your family receiving a jar, you can purchase a custom jar after the event. If we determine a separate sale is needed, we will provide those details following this event. 

Please reach out to Allie at mwesrestaurantnight@gmail.com if you have any questions!

DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION TEAM

Black History Month Celebration

The DEI Parent Team would like to thank all the volunteers and families who came and celebrated with us for our Black History Month Celebration. It was a great event! The "soul food" was amazing and the students enjoyed playing and learning about the different instruments used during African Drum and Dance. 

March - Womens History Month

During Women's History Month, we celebrate the countless women who have fought tirelessly and courageously for equality, justice, and opportunity in our Nation. We also reaffirm our commitment to advancing rights and opportunities for women and girls in the United States and around the world.

DEI Book Club: The DEI Book Club will be hosting a conversation in April, be on the lookout for the survey. We would love for everyone to participate, learn and have meaningful conversations. 

Cultural Night: The DEI Parent team will be hosting a Cultural Night on May 11th from 6pm-8pm at Marriotts Ridge HS. Flyers and Sign-Up Genius to come soon. 

Thank you to all the parents who have taken the time to volunteer for the several committees under the DEI umbrella. We wouldn't be able to have such amazing events if it weren't for your support. 

If you are interested in joining the DEI Parent Team please contact DD Johnson at demikajohnson@gmail.com
