We had such a fun week with Read Across Meadowside -- Thank you to all our staff and students who joined in the fun -- from theme days to guest readers -- it was all about our LOVE of READING! Please continue to read with your children at home - it really contributes to their life long love of reading and we know how important that love of reading is to growing and learning in all areas! Here are just a few pictures of the fun we had!
We also made sure to get outside and play this week as well!
We have a couple events coming up this month and next that we are hoping to put on your radar:
Tuesday March 11th is our March PTA meeting -- we will start at 6:00 in the Media Center and transition at 7:00 to our Fifth Grade committee meeting.
Speaking of the Fifth Grade Committee -- please remember: The 5th Grade Committee is selling Lucky Grams to raise funds for the end-of-year celebration! Each Lucky Gram includes a festive note, a pencil, and an eraser—perfect for sending a little luck to students, teachers, staff, or friends. Please see the flyer for more details and click here for an order form! If there are any questions please reach out to tonilombardi96@gmail.com.
Looking a little further ahead this month is our STEM night. Congratulations to Mirella on her poster and thanks to Mrs. Guarino and our PTA for organizing the event for our students and families:

Spring conference sign up information will be live on our school website from Wednesday, March 5th, at 9:00 a.m. through Monday, March 17th, at 12:00 p.m. If you prefer a virtual session, please contact the teacher to request a Google Meet link to conduct your conference virtually after you have confirmed your conference time through My Conference Time Online Scheduler. We are looking forward to meeting with you to discuss your child’s learning! *Please note that we will have a modified early dismissal time on the conference days to accommodate the conference schedule. Therefore, students will be dismissed on March 18th, March 19th, and March 20th at 1:15pm.
