First Week of 2014-2015

Well, we did it! The first week is in the books at Morton Ranch Elementary and what a week it was!

Mrs. Palmour and team registered many new families. It was simply amazing to watch our enrollment grow. Students came from various states to join us at "The Ranch". We loved meeting all our new Mavericks.

Many of these students/parents told us stories about their previous schools and how excited they were to be joining MRE. It was mentioned by several that our arrival procedures "are simply amazing to begin the day in a positive and calm manner". Students head straight to class (or to the cafeteria to eat breakfast) beginning at 7:55am. Educators are greeting buses, daycare transportation, and car riders with HUGE welcomes, warm smiles and a friendly handshakes. It is the little things that make a big difference! 

Students engaged in morning meeting on the first day of school with their new teachers. We find out so much about our students' lives, dreams, and hopes through these morning conversations.

The first day of school would not be complete without a Happy Birthday celebration for MRE during a whole school assembly. Our school turned seven years old this year! Every student and staff member sang and ate a delicious cupcake to celebrate this event. Yep, 1,000 cupcakes were ordered and distributed!

Mrs. Hubble, Mrs. Glasser and Mrs. Carr are determined to visit classrooms daily to watch excellence in action. One thing is for sure, we have hired the best and the brightest in Katy, Texas. It is such a pleasure to watch our educators amazingness in action. Our students are pretty amazing, too! It proves that we have such a phenomenal team.

We plan to share moments and build our MRE story so please stay tuned. Can't wait to see what the rest of the school year brings!
