In October, our MES family came together and wore pink to show love, strength, and support for all those impacted by cancer. 💕 From students to staff, our halls were filled with compassion and care — a reminder that no one fights alone.
We stand united in hope, honor, and healing. 💪✨

The Scholastic Book Fair at Mascoutah Elementary School begins next week! Volunteers are still needed to fill a few time slots. See available dates and times at the Book Fair Volunteer Sign Up.
Mascoutah Community Unit School District 19 is featured as one of "The 10 Most Admired School Districts" in October's issue of The Education Magazine. Their article about MSD19 says,
"....In places where tradition meets growth, the story of a district is rarely a straight line. Instead, it becomes a reflection of both heritage and progress, carried forward by the people who call that community home.
"Mascoutah is one such place. Tucked in the heart of Illinois, it carries the character of a small rural town while sitting close to expanding suburban neighborhoods. Adding to this mix is the presence of Scott Air Force Base, which brings with it families from across the country and even the world. This blend of hometown roots, suburban energy, and global influence has shaped the Mascoutah community.... Over time, that character has given the local school district both challenges and opportunities unlike any other."

We’re so excited to welcome FredBird and Friends to Mascoutah Elementary School on Tuesday, October 15, for a special Character Assembly! 🎉
Our students will be learning all about what it means to build great character — just like our favorite Cardinal! ⚾️💪
Let’s show our school spirit and Cardinal pride by wearing red or any St. Louis Cardinals gear tomorrow! 🔴
It’s going to be a fun and meaningful day celebrating kindness, respect, and teamwork — the MES way!

Last Thursday, October 9, our Family Literacy Night was an incredible success! Families filled the halls with excitement for reading, fun activities, and quality time together. From interactive literacy games to cozy read-alouds, the joy of learning was everywhere — and every student left with a Forever Book to continue the magic of reading at home! 💙📖
A huge thank you to our amazing staff and volunteers who made this night possible, and to all the families who came out to celebrate the power of reading.
A special shoutout goes to our fantastic Tomahawk Crew, who captured the entire event through our MES Photography Program! We love seeing our students shine and lead in so many capacities — their photos truly brought the spirit of the night to life! 📸🙌
At MES, we know that readers today become leaders tomorrow — and last Thursday proved that our community is full of both! 🌟👏
