Every day each staff member is assigned a "go get 'em" student. Some time during the day, the staff member takes a minute to connect with their "go get 'em". They may discuss their favorite activities, share exciting things going on in their classroom, or tell things they are looking forward to at home. It is a quick way for staff members to build relationships with students throughout our entire building. It is a highlight of the day for both the teacher and student. So far this school year, our staff has made over 200 extra personal connections.

Please see the news for 10/7 through 10/11.

The artwork around East Elementary...just WOW!





Our students took part in the "chalk the walk" initiative in order to share pictures of peace and positivity around our downtown square and school. Thank you to all who enjoyed our little one's presence and pictures. We hope we were able to make your day just a bit brighter!

ATTENTION!! All spectators attending home games and contests at Minden High School must enter through the south main MHS entrance. The north entrance will no longer be open for admission for general spectators. If you are attending home games at MHS, please plan to park on the south in our newly expanded parking lot or in other designated areas. The north parking lot and entrance is now reserved for MPS staff only for events. This change is effective immediately and will be in place for all events moving forward. GO WHIPPETS!!!
