East Meadows students were honored in our Good As Gold award assembly for December. The Heave Ho Award that honored students that pushed through a tough obstacle.  The Jolly Roger Award recognized students with a good attitude.  Students that were given the Ahoy Matey Award were caught being a good friend.  We also had the Shipshape Award for those that were caught helping around the school or were picking up in their classroom.  The Shiver Me Timbers Award was for students that had done something truly amazing.

Today the Students at East Meadows had a Sing-A-Long. The teachers had their "Ugly Sweater Contest" and of course everyone was a "winner" Lots of fun happening at our school! We have awsome students and staff here!

Horace Mann insuance presented the Crystal Apple Award to Penny McEnitre last week.

Mrs. McEntire is an amazing 3rd grade teacher at East Meadows. Our teachers had the opportunity to comment on Penny's many skills. She is known for being very talented, creative, dedicated and considerate of others. She is a face in our school that is always smiling! We don't know what we would do without her! we are so lucky to have her at our school.

Congratulations Penny!

Our 4th Grade students got all dressed up on Monday and headed to Salem Hills High School on a field trip. They watched the Utah Symphony preform, the students really enjoyed it!

Mrs. McQuivey's class have been studying the concepts of gravity. They students had fun making parachutes. They were able to go try them out on the playground! A great time was had by all!

Mrs. Lyman's class had fun last week. They had an indoor snowball fight and celebrated Thanksgiving in teepees. Looks like 6ths graders are never too old to have fun!

 If you walk down the first grade hall at the beginning of the school day watch your step and walk carefully or you may step on pairs of students reading.  Every morning Monday through Thursday, sixth grade students peer tutor first graders. The first grade students love having the chance to read with these amazing tutors! Thank you sixth graders for the great work you are doing!

Thank you to all of our amazing STAR Reading Volunteers!
