McDermott Elementary School

We are so GRATEFUL for you too, Trinity United Methodist! Thanks for the treat! There were lots of extras smiles on the teachers faces today! 🥰

If you reserved a Thanksgiving Box, the boxes are available for pickup today and Friday until 3 p.m. You will need to come to the front office and give your name.

We never know who, or what, might show up for ViPS Reading Day! We are so thankful for the volunteers who came out to share time, a story, and even a Tuba, with our Mustangs today! Whether they were talking turkey or having a "Fail-A-Bration" we enjoyed each and every guest.

Good evening, Mustang Country,

We want to invite everyone to attend our Merry Makers event on December 4 from 6:00-7:30 PM. It is for everyone, but will feature a concert and artwork by our K/1 students as well as free food and pictures with Santa and ornament making!

Hello, Mustang Parents, We know that many orders for our fundraiser were placed online. If you have any paper order forms, please submit them by tomorrow at 3 PM. Thank you!

We wanted to share this opportunity with our Mustang families:

Thank you for your attention and support!

Enrichment classes got a lil hairy today...and scaley, and stinky. Ms. Forbes, our GT teacher, invited Cockrill's Farm Petting Zoo and Arkansas Game and Fish Commission's Alligator to help build background knowledge for the Kinder and 1st grades new modules on animals. We had an amazing time hanging out with the animals, noticing their features and wondering what kinds of stories they might tell!
