Principal's Message

Dear Mary Blair Families –

WOW, time really does fly when you’re having fun!
Can you believe it’s already May?!

THANK YOU to all MBES families for making the 2012-2013 school year a positive experience for all students, and for your unending support of the staff. Thank you also to all of the wonderful volunteers that have supported the building throughout the year. We hope the Volunteer Tea demonstrated just how loved you are!

There are lots of fun events coming up this month – please help your students to remember that we should show PRIDE, PERSEVERE and be POSITIVE during these events and every day at school. Please mark your calendars and plan to join us for:

  • April 29 Madison Ave. Path – Community meeting, sponsored by the City of Loveland.  The City of Loveland will be at MBES to share the plans for construction on the Madison Ave. path. Construction will begin this summer.

As we close out the 12-13 school year, I encourage you to take advantage of all of the wonderful, educational opportunities that exist in our city. The Loveland library has a variety of offerings for all ages, The Rialto Theater always has fun and engaging activities, and The Harrington Arts Academy has proven to be very popular with many of our students. You can also take advantage of the many parks and open spaces for a hike, a walk or bike ride – or find a cozy spot and read a book or play a math game!

Summer is a time for fun and activities, but don’t forget to exercise your brain and find opportunities to learn new things! I can’t wait to hear all about your wonderful adventures when you return in the fall!

Have a safe and healthy Summer Break!
