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!

Haunted House Writing in Third Grade!
Mather's third graders have been getting into the Halloween spirit while putting their creative writing skills to work!
Students created their own “In My Haunted House” pieces, using descriptive words, vivid details, and plenty of imagination to bring their spooky scenes to life. They then paired their writing with detailed haunted house illustrations-complete with ghosts, skeletons, creepy creatures, and other frightfully fun details!
Activities like this give students an opportunity to practice important writing skills while developing their voice, creativity, vocabulary, and ability to paint a picture with words.
What a fun way to celebrate student writing and creativity. Spook-tacular work, Mrs. Bogater’s & Mrs. Butler's third graders!
Learning Is Sweet in Third Grade!
Mrs. Butler’s third graders put their math skills into action today with a hands-on division lesson using cookies!
Students practiced dividing cookies into equal groups, helping them see how division works in a fun and meaningful way. Hands-on learning experiences like this help students build a deeper understanding of math concepts while making learning memorable-and maybe a little delicious, too!

Mystery Science in 4th Grade!
Our 4th graders became geologists and fossil detectives as they explored the Colossal Canyon Mystery Science investigation!
Students examined fossils and different rock layers, using clues and evidence to think about what each layer can tell us about Earth’s past.
There was plenty of observing, questioning, investigating, and problem-solving happening as students worked to uncover the mysteries hidden beneath the surface!
