Exciting Author Visit at MMES!

We are thrilled to announce that award-winning children's book author, Hena Khan, will be visiting MMES! Our students will have the unique opportunity to meet and hear from this talented author, learning about her writing process and inspiration.

As part of this special visit, families can make the experience even more memorable by purchasing a book from The Book Shop Beverly Farms or bringing in their own copy of one of Hena Khan's books to have it signed by the author herself! This is a wonderful chance for students to take home a personalized keepsake and cherish the memory of meeting a celebrated author.

Educators from Plimoth Patuxet came and met with our 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade students. Our 1st grade students participated in a hands-on experience called “The First Thanksgiving: Play Centers” and our older students engaged in the “Colonial First Families” program.

The presenters were dressed in traditional 17th century clothing and explained in-depth what it was like to live during that time. They spoke about their experience traveling from England to America on the Mayflower. They provided details about the long trip, the animals on board and the illnesses which impacted so many travelers. The students were surprised to hear how small and cramped the boat was! The educators explained how they were welcomed to New England and how they made and traded their food and goods. Students were able to hold and read Horn Books, along with other traditional 17th century items.

The students were very engaged with our presenters and asked wonderful questions. We were so happy to have Plimoth Patuxet back again!

On Monday, our Kindergarten class enjoyed an unforgettable morning with Glenn Davison of KitingUSA! Glenn brought the magic of kite making to life, sharing his passion with a display of over ten incredible kites—from fish and lobsters to pirates and even the Mona Lisa! The kids learned about the science of aerodynamics, the importance of wind, and the math behind kite design, all in a fun, age-appropriate way.

The real excitement began when Glenn asked, “Who wants to make their own kite?” Every hand shot up! With the help of our amazing teachers and parent volunteers, each student assembled and marked their very own kite before heading out to Coach’s Field to launch them. Despite little wind, the kids were all smiles, running and laughing as they flew their kites proudly. Best of all, the kites went home with them, ready for future adventures!

A huge thank you to Glenn, our teachers, and parent helpers for making it such a memorable day!
