The MRC needs you! We have a dedicated group of parent volunteers but we can use even more help. If you can donate an hour or so of time each week, we need you. We especially need people at these times: Monday, Wednesday or Thursday afternoons, and Tuesday or Friday mornings.

Thank you to the PTO for making the MRC even more beautiful. When he visited in February, Henry Cole drew a picture of Celeste, the main character in his book A Nest for Celeste. Our PTO framed that drawing along with a book cover and an explanation of Henry Cole’s visit. Thank you very much for this unexpected gift! It will always remind us of our shared reading experience. Please stop by the MRC to see it.

A book illustrated by our friend Henry Cole is on the list. You can vote for Three Hens and a Peacock to support him!
