Attention Volleyball Fans! There is an updated map for Pequot Lakes' parking lot. Certain parking areas and roads were shut down today. All volleyball fans should enter on Woodman Avenue (not Lake Street). All fans should park in the Event Parking areas. There is a dirt ramp into a parking lot, but we do not recommend fans use the parking spaces marked in red. Please see the attached updated parking map.

During our first gathering, we had plenty to celebrate! 🎉 ⭐ Dutchmen Difference Makers: We recognized our September Difference Makers and proudly announced our October recipients—students who have gone above and beyond to make a positive impact on our school! 🎓 ESL Graduates: We celebrated students who have successfully graduated from English as a Second Language (ESL) services, recognizing their hard work, growth, and accomplishments! 🏆 Specialist Classes of the Month: Our specialist teachers recognized classrooms that have demonstrated outstanding effort, participation, and positive contributions in their classes! 🎶 One School, One Voice: We wrapped up our gathering with the entire elementary singing our school song together—a great reminder of the pride we share in being Dutchmen! We are excited to make our Purple & Gold Gathering a monthly tradition where we celebrate student success, build connections across grade levels, and recognize the many ways our students make Melrose Area Elementary a wonderful place to learn and grow. It’s a great day to be a Dutchmen! 💜💛
