MAE JAG BLAST, NOVEMBER 2024
A Message from the Principal
Greetings MAE Family,
November is an exciting month for us here at Avenue. As we move into a season of holidays and celebrations, all of our students will participate in exciting field trip experiences. All grades, Kindergarten through 2nd Grade, will have the opportunity to view the dress rehearsal of Matilda at Madison Central High School. Only students will be allowed to view the dress rehearsal for Matilda. We have our annual Scholastic Book Fair happening November 4-8, 2024, and our Thanksgiving Lunch for 1st Grade and 2nd Grade on Thursday, November 21, 2024. Our Kindergarten Thanksgiving Feast will be on Friday, November 22, 2024. We will be closed for the Thanksgiving Holiday November 25-29, 2024. Check with your child's teacher or call the school for more details regarding each of these experiences. Your presence and support for these events is greatly appreciated in advance.
During this month of gratitude, we are so very thankful to have the opportunity to serve and educate our students to the best of our abilities in our wonderful school community. As always, please know you are a very important part of your child's educational process. It truly takes a village for our students to shine as brightly as they do each day. Thank you for your continued support.
In service of students, staff, & community,
Dr. Kristal Pollard Epting

Wear or share traditional clothing or artifacts
Samples of traditional food (if possible) or candy
