Sometimes, you come to work and you find your work twin! We'll keep an eye out on these two today to make sure they don't try a switch-a-roo on us!


Today students in 1st and 3rd grades (and a few others) were treated to eye screenings in the library. If your student needs follow up, you will receive a letter this week. (Otherwise, no news is good news.) If you have any questions, please reach out to your teacher.









Here are our morning announcers for the 2nd Semester. These 5th graders work together to share the morning announcements each morning at 7:45am!


Congratulations to our Eagles of the Week for Soaring since we've started the 3rd Quarter. Way to Soar!

The Eagle's Nest is quiet today! Here are a few leftover pictures from spirit week. Eagles - enjoy your time at home and read a book!




During this time of year, one of Mrs. Casha's favorite activities is the Icelandic Christmas Eve tradition of Jolabokaflod" or "The Christmas Book Flood" where families snuggle in for the evening reading a book while drinking something warm and eating chocolate. (Tell your kiddos, for this ONE event, Mrs. Casha will allow eating and drinking with books as long as they are very careful!! ) Mrs. Casha wishes everyone to participate in "Jolabokaflod" over the entire winter break. Happy Reading!


Alright MCE Eagle Families!! We dressed them in pajamas today and we're sending them home early! They're ready for a long winter's nap!










We're not blue that we're going home until next year; we're blue and white for a winter wonderland! ( MCE Eagle's Nest Forecast - No Elsa sightings today ... just clear and cold with snatches of blue and white in the hallways).








The Eagle's Nest is not a ghost town! There's no balderdash here! Our ace in the hole in the Eagle's Nest is our students have fun while learning! (Check out those bettermost smiles). Deputys Womble, Hendricks and Boerigter have their buckaroos and buckarettes riding the range and learning the ropes!




Every week, this team sees every K-5 Eagle for Specials. This team knows all the Eagles!! We love supporting our students and teachers!
