MES students had an exciting and educational experience today as they explored the Kansas State Department of Education’s (KSDE) Body Venture Exhibit! This engaging, 11-station exhibit began in the lunchroom, where students embarked on an interactive journey through the human body. They learned how food is digested, how nutrients are absorbed, and how vital organs like the stomach, intestines, heart, lungs, bones, and muscles work together to keep us healthy. The exhibit finishes with students exiting through a cut in the skin and a final station to recap everything they learned. We are incredibly grateful that our students had the opportunity to participate in this unique and enriching learning experience!


It's Welcome Wednesday at MES! Our greeters this morning brought so much energy!! Thank you MSEC employees for welcoming our students and making everyone feel good this morning with all of your positive energy!!
