With boxes stacked to the ceiling in the library and gym, parents, staff members and students rolled up their sleeves to help unpack and organize the library and classrooms. Many changes had taken place. No longer were the classrooms open. MPE had a new look with walls, closed classrooms and newly painted dark teal, mint green and adobe hallways. An inherent, heartfelt belief that all children can succeed is the driving force behind MPE's success.
