Learning Beyond the Classroom!
Mrs. Butler and Mrs. Bogater’s 3rd graders had a wonderful hands-on learning experience at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore! Students had the opportunity to explore, investigate, and learn alongside park rangers in our beautiful local environment.
A huge thank you to our parent volunteers and the park rangers who helped make this experience possible for our students!
We love seeing our Mustangs learning, exploring, and making connections beyond the classroom!

MPS Community Health Reminder: Measles & MMR
With measles cases occurring in Michigan and across the country, MPS encourages families and staff to check their MMR vaccination status and make sure they are up to date.
Why MMR?
Measles is extremely contagious and can spread quickly in schools and communities. Two doses of MMR are about 97% effective at preventing measles.
Recommended for children:
• 1st dose: 12–15 months
• 2nd dose: 4–6 years
Were You Exposed to Measles?
Call your health care provider or local health department right away—before going into a medical facility.
If you are not immune:
• Within 72 hours of exposure: MMR vaccination may help prevent measles or make the illness milder.
If you develop symptoms, call ahead before visiting a doctor's office, urgent care, or emergency department to avoid exposing others.
Check your records. Get up to date. Help protect our MPS community.

Mr. Guest - 1st Grade Guest Reader!
We love seeing connections being made across grade levels at Mather!
Mr. Guest, our 5th grade teacher, took time during his prep to be a special guest reader in one of our 1st grade classrooms. He shared one of his favorite books, Pokko and the Drum, and our first graders loved having him visit!
Moments like these are about so much more than reading a great book. They help build relationships, strengthen our school community, and remind our students that they are surrounded by adults who care about them.
Thank you, Mr. Guest, for taking the time to make a special Mather memory with our first graders!
