Montezuma's 4th Grade entered the Bluelight FCA group essay contest. Trustworthiness was the topic of the essay. The 4th graders learned about being a trustworthy friend in class and with Mrs. Greene. The group said there were many great essays and it was hard for them to pick a winner! Jayleen Maldonado was the winner of the contest and Madi Cole was the runner-up. Great job, 4th Graders!
Today, our Montezuma Elementary family said "Thanks & we'll miss you so much" to Coach Blattner. 💙🤍🖤 We wish you the best in your next endeavor! *See video in comments (on Facebook)

We will make the decision on having the Golf meet at SGHS tomorrow morning at 8:30am. The weather forecast is not looking favorable.
Due to the projected forecast, the high school track team will NOT be attending the Bob Haug Invitational in Jetmore tomorrow. I feel it is better to err on the side of caution rather than risk getting someone hurt.
Thanks!
Coach Deges
Our MES 5th graders had an awesome day in Wichita! We checked out the cool ‘Sharks’ exhibit and all the fun at the Exploration Place, then jumped our hearts out at Fun City Adventure Park! So many laughs, so many memories—these sweet kids are ready for junior high!!
