Students are offered a variety of extra-curricular programs to choose from including:  boys and girls’ 5th grade basketball, Spell Bowl, Math Bowl, Drama Club, and Student Council.  Students in grades 1-5 are also active in the Accelerated Reader program.  Students work hard to achieve their goal for each nine-weeks.  Reward parties are scheduled for each semester and at the end of the year.  Students are recognized for their achievements in a variety of ways such as:  Student of the Month (sponsored by local businesses), Jacket Stings, Fine Dining, and through our Character Education program.  Each nine-weeks, students are recognized for being on the honor roll, perfect attendance, and meeting AR goals.  Promoting academic excellence is first and foremost at MES.

We are fortunate to have a facility that includes two computer labs, media center, science lab, and gymnasium.  With our building connected to the high school, students on the Morristown campus have the opportunity to share a cafeteria at the high school.  Most recently, we have increased our security by having cameras and a buzzer system installed.  Visitors to the building are asked to state their name and business before entering the building.  Once inside, visitors report to the office, sign-in, and receive a name tag.  If you are interested in learning more about our school, we encourage you to contact us and set up an appointment with our principal, Mr. Corn.
