Thank you!

Thank you to everyone that braved the nasty weather for the Ghost & Goblins 5k last Saturday.  Mohawk Trails doubled our attendance from 2018 and was 2nd place overall in participation for elementary schools.  We will receive a grant from the Carmel Education Foundation.  Thank you to Mrs. Meyer who spearheaded our efforts and to all of the MTE families and staff that participated.  Please click on the link below to see some great pictures from the event.
