💜🔬 Thank You for Supporting STEAM at Mesnier!
A huge thank you to Affton School District leaders Dr. Travis Bracht, Erica Chandler, Adam Jasinski, Dr. Loren Widmer, and Dr. Jason Buck for volunteering their time at our STEAM Museum today! Our students loved sharing their curiosity and creativity, and your presence helped make this hands-on learning experience extra special. We are grateful for your support of our Cougars and STEAM learning! 🚀

🔬🎨 STEAM Museum at Mesnier! “It felt like a real museum, but we got to touch everything!” Today, our students explored hands-on STEAM exhibits with robots, virtual reality, 3D printing, engineering, art, and more. Curiosity was high, creativity was buzzing, and learning was happening everywhere! 🚀

Congratulations to Riley for being nominated as an Affton Strong Student of the Month! 🌟 Riley consistently shows what it means to be Affton Strong through positive choices, hard work, and a great attitude each day. We’re so proud of you and this well-deserved recognition! 👏

Big cheers to Monroe, Camryn, Jaxson, and Merjem! 🐾🎉

These Cougars earned a special reward—face painting—through our Cougar Paw raffle! Their positive choices and hard work paid off in a fun (and colorful!) way. Way to show our Cougar expectations and keep earning those paws! 🐆✨

We celebrated our academic growth on the NWEA the brightest way possible today—glow dance parties! 🪩✨ Hard work + growth + fun = the perfect celebration. Way to shine! 💛💜

Huge thanks to our Rogers Middle School mentors for visiting today! 💛💜 Our students loved creating 2026 vision boards with you and dreaming big for the future. Your time, energy, and encouragement made it extra special! ⭐✨💜💛

Ms. Jauer’s first graders are measuring up to some cool learning! 🐧📏 As part of their measurement unit, students measured each other—and even Ms. Jauer—to figure out just how big of a snowsuit they’d need to visit penguins… or maybe just survive the chilly St. Louis weather this weekend! ❄️ Hands-on learning, lots of laughs, and a classroom full of curious minds make first grade the coolest place to be!

Dinner plans? Make it Papa John’s! 🍕 A portion of proceeds supports our school—thank you for helping our students thrive!

Today we held our Class Family Meetings! 💛

K–2 students came together to build community, learn about helpful vs. hurtful words (with support from our middle schoolers), and continue our book study of I Forgive Alex. Students shared thoughtful ideas about feelings, friendship, and forgiveness. A great morning of connection and learning! 📚✨

Reminder! No school Monday, January 19th as we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his dream of a better world for everyone. 💭

High fives, big smiles, and even bigger thanks! 🙌
Shoutout to our middle school students for making High Five Friday the best part of our morning. Your energy and kindness set the tone for an awesome day!

Mesnier families, we’re thrilled to invite you to participate in the St. Louis Science Fair! This is an exciting opportunity to explore science together as a family, spark curiosity, and create meaningful learning moments right at home.

Whether you're investigating a question, conducting an experiment, or building a project, the Science Fair is a great way to bring out the scientist in everyone. Plus, it’s an excellent chance to support your child’s learning in a fun and engaging way.

If you’re interested in participating or would like more information, please reach out to Courtney Thomas at cthomas@afftonschools.net.
