 We are thrilled to announce that Medfield Heights Elementary has won its 3rd Access for All Grant through the Young Audiences of Maryland. With this support, Medfield Heights Elementary will host renowned Flamenco dancer and choreographer Anna Menendez on November 21st for (2) back to back morning assemblies. More information coming home in your student's folders! The PTO is thrilled to continue to support dance and cultural performances in celebration of our school's incredibly diverse student community! Thank you to PTO member Tony Tsendeas for your continued grant writing assistance. Anna Menendez will engage students in a masterful performance of Spanish dance and Flamenco, while exposing them to the concept of how rhythm expresses emotions. Students will learn basic Spanish vocabulary, use map skills to locate and identify various Spanish-speaking countries, and gain an appreciation of Spanish culture and traditional dance. Artist Biography Anna Menendez is a Flamenco dancer and choreographer who studied extensively in Spain. She was the recipient of the Artists’ Fellowship award from the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities for excellence in Flamenco dance in 2003. She has performed in many operas and with the “La Truco Flamenco” dance company in Spain, appeared in the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, and performances with Carmela Greco.   Support our NEWEST recycling program at Medfield Heights Elementary School. Thank you to Ms. Cafuir and the Medfield Heights Recycling Club for bringing the Entenmann's Little Bites recyling program to MHES! Every pouch collected promotes school sustainability through the Terracycle program and raises money for the school.
Pack these tasty treats in your kids lunch - and kids can put the empty Little Bites pouches in the collection box on the school stage.
