Good Afternoon Meadowside.
Congratulations to Mrs. Bridget Krauss for being the 2022 District Parent of the Year! Ever since joining our learning community in the fall of 2015 , Mrs. Krauss has been incredibly dedicated to our school, a participant and volunteer at countless PTA activities, and an active member of our PTA Board. Whether as PTA president, as she is again this year, or as board member, Mrs. Krauss is a true advocate for our students, our staff and our parent partnership. We could not have been more excited when Dr. Cutaia joined us at our PTA meeting this week to announce the news!
Thank you to all our fourth and fifth grade musicians and families who joined us for our Spring Performance on Wednesday night. We thoroughly enjoyed the music - and are so proud of the dedication and practice all our students demonstrated in preparing for the evening. A special thank you to Ms. Walsh, Mr. Boots and Mr. Burns -- we are so grateful for your commitment to our students!
As the year begins to wind down, we are working to collect library books that have been checked out to students this year. Bins will be placed around the school for students to return books and reminder slips will be sent home to students who have books checked out. Please take time to look through your house and bookshelves to ensure library books are returned! The last day that students can check out books from our school library is Friday, June 3. Thank you! The Library Media Team
