Juan Botello makes his first official art sale. Mr. Swartz reached out to Juan weeks ago, asking if he would be willing to sell him his amazing graphite drawing of Walter White. Mr. Swartz threw out an offer, and Juan accepted. Today, the trade was made. THANK YOU to Mr. Swartz for supporting all of the young artists. He continues to build up his collection of "student artwork" for his permanent collection. Mr. Swartz has also purchased clay busts from students. Thank you to Juan for sharing your talents and congratulations on your first, of hopefully many, art sales!!!

🌟 Celebrating Our September Dutchmen Difference Makers! 🌟 Each month, we recognize one student from each grade level as a Dutchmen Difference Maker—students who have gone above and beyond our school expectations and set a positive example for those around them. Whether through kindness, hard work, responsibility, respect, or simply stepping up when it matters, these students help make MAES a better place each day. We are incredibly proud of our September Difference Makers and the way they represent our Dutchmen community! 💜💛 Way to make a difference! 👏

September is School Board Appreciation Month!
We want to take a moment to recognize and thank our Melrose Area Public Schools School Board members for the time, dedication, and commitment they give to our students, staff, and community.
Serving on a school board takes time, thoughtful discussion, and a commitment to making decisions that support our schools and our students. We appreciate all they do for our Dutchmen community!
Thank you for your service!
