Good Afternoon Meadowside Families,
Join Us in Celebrating Earth Week: Register for a Free Tree for Your Child!
This spring, we are thrilled to announce our participation in Neighborhood Forest's 16th Annual Free Tree Program as part of our Earth Week celebrations from April 22nd to 27th! Read all about how to get a free tree here. Please fill out the online registration form by March 15th and receive a free tree (6-12 inches in size) during Earth Week (April 22-27). The tree species will be announced in early April. Neighborhood Forest aims to provide native and / or fruit bearing trees in all regions they serve. We are excited to be participating in this wonderful program that teaches youth about the importance of taking care of earth through the magic and wonder of planting and watching trees grow!
Next week we will be conducting a fire drill. Conducting emergency drills (fire, crisis, lockdown, etc.) is one of the most important ways we enhance our preparedness for students and staff during an emergency. Drills allow us to practice what we need to do when an emergency arises in our school. Thank you for your support.
