Green Meadow Update

No School Monday

Just a reminder there will be no school on Monday, October 10th, 2022 as we observe Indigenous People's Day. A holiday meant to honor the culture and history of the people living in the Americas both before and after Columbus' arrival. We hope you enjoy the day off with your families.

Autumn Walk

It's that time of the year! The leaves are falling and the days are getting chilly and our Green Meadow Autumn Walk is fast approaching!

We invite all students to come dressed in their favorite autumn costume. Please note that all costumes must be school appropriate and may not contain scary masks, knives, swords, blood etc. We recommend that students dress as their favorite book character, sports hero or favorite historical character etc. Costumes and participation are optional.

We recommend that students bring a change of clothes in a labeled bag with their name as well as their grade level written on it. That way, they can change into their regular clothes after the walk and continue on with their day dressed in comfortable attire.

Students in the preschool AM and PM group will be walking and showcasing their costumes in the cafeteria and in the gym on Monday, October 31st at 9:05 AM. All other grades will be walking around the front of the school building beginning at 8:45 am.

We ask that all parents / guardians park at either Crowe Park or the Fowler Middle School parking lot and walk to the school building. Please keep in mind that buses arrive between 8:15 and 8:25 am.

All families are invited to attend our Autumn Walk. We hope to see you soon!
