NO PETS Sign
Please be mindful that dogs are not allowed on campus.  The interior sidewalks along the office and multi are part of our campus.  We have a number of students who are afraid of dogs.  Thank you for supporting all students to have a calm and safe arrival and dismissal each school day.

A Message from Mrs. Haugen
Mascot
What A Fun Run!
 
If you joined us for Fun Run, you saw the excitement and energy among students, staff, and spectators. A HUGE THANK YOU to PTO and all of our volunteers for an amazing event. From colored bandanas to Waughsome tattoos, from hair color to fun warm-ups before running. From signs lining the tracks to a cold popsicle treat. They made it an enormous success and a super fun day for everyone.
And to all of you and your friends & family who donated--THANK YOU! We met our fundraising goal that supporting music, art, library, and STEAM in our district. We appreciate your generosity and investment in our students and schools.
One more round of prizes will go out soon and other winners will be announced. Mrs. Haugen is gearing up to be a target at the Rocket Challenge because we made our fundraising goal. Ready? Aim? Launch!!!
Student Council 2024-2025
We are excited to announce our Student Council Officers for the 2024-2025 school year. Meadow has so much positive leadership among our students that we formed a Presidential Board this year including Andrew Bilal, Teagan Kane, Fiona Curtis, and Abby Fitting. These students run the Student Council meetings and assist Mrs. Haugen with the Monthly Assembly and Monday Announcements. We have two Vice-Presidents: Walker Gardner and Mikayla Forghani. And we have two Secretaries: Orion McKenney and Abigail O'Brien.
 
I do not doubt that this stellar team will be excellent stewards of our school, hosting fun spirit days and community-building events as well.
 
Congratulations to all Student Council members and leadership!
