********************************************************************** On February 16, we will be having our annual school wide dance.

Please send money in an envelope, labeled with your child’s name, amount of glow sticks, and amount of money. Your child’s teacher will keep track of this information. Glow sticks will be handed out on the day of the dance.
PSA Silent Auction About the Event The PSA’s annual Silent Auction is coming up on Friday, April 6th, 2018. It will be held here at Meadowbrook from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. In addition to the auction, we will also have ice cream from Zesty’s for you to enjoy as you bid, dancing and movies for the kids to enjoy, and raffles aimed at both students and parents alike! This event is a significant source of funds for the PSA which helps to cover the cost of the library renovation project, various online subscriptions to help personalize student learning, contributes toward the cost of bussing for field trips, hosting of the end of year carnival, and much, much more. We hope you will be able to join us. Classroom Themed Baskets Each class is also collecting donation toward a “themed” basket that will be auctioned off at the event. Donations toward each classroom's basket can be brought in directly to your child's teacher. Please be sure that all donations are sent in to school by Friday, March 23rd so that we have time to assemble the baskets. For a list of each classroom’s chosen theme, please visit: https://goo.gl/af6rzu How You Can Help Not only would we like to see you there, but anything that you can contribute to be auctioned off would be a huge help! Perhaps you or someone you know is a small business owner or a direct sales consultant (i.e. Pampered Chef, Mary Kay, LuLaRoe) and can provide an item from your inventory or service such as a massage or photography session. Some of you may be very gifted artistically and could donate your time or talents. Lastly, if you have any special connections and could help secure a special experience for the students such as a ride to school on a fire truck, please let us know. You can reach out to us at: [email protected] ********************************************************************** Jump Rope for Heart 2018Feb. 5-7 all Meadowbrook students participated in their Jump Rope For Heart event during their Physical Education time. Various stations challenged students to get their heart rate up. Students who handed in donation envelopes will receive their “Thank You Gifts” sometime in March. From the pics below it looks like they all had fun supporting a great cause!

On Feb. 7th, the 3rd grade classes got that chance. They welcomed Sarah Freund, an 18 year old who has Treacher Collin’s Syndrome (which Auggie had in the story “Wonder”). They were able to ask Sarah and her mother questions about challenges she faced when being in school, all her favorite things, and offered her their friendship and hugs. We wish Sarah well in her goal to open her own Bed and Breakfast someday!
