On Tuesday March 3, East Meadows was visited by a rodeo clown, some city officials and the 2014 Fiesta Days Rodeo Royalty.  They talked to the kids about the sport of rodeo. The rodeo clown entertained them with some of his clown acts.  He also talked to the kids about the importance of getting an education.  Spanish Fork is proud to welcome the 2015 Wrangler Champions Challenge Rodeo to our Fairgrounds Arena on May 30. There are only 10 Champions Challenge Rodeo's currently in the United States and we have 1 here in Spanish Fork.

To help celebrate Dr. Seuss’ Birthday, East Meadows Elementary celebrates by hosting a Dad’s and Doughnuts PTA Activity.  As part of the event the PTA donated a new book for each student and supplied over 900 doughnuts.  Thank you to all of our dad’s, mom’s, grandparents, teachers and faculty and anyone else who participated or otherwise supported this fun night.  Remember to keep reading!

Dr. Seuss was born one hundred and eleven years ago on March 2, 1904.  He is the beloved author of 46 children's books.  Dr. Seuss, whose real name was Theodor Seuss Geisel authored many favorite books such as: "The Cat in the Hat", "The Lorax", "How the Grinch Stole Christmas"' and "Green Eggs and Ham."  To celebrate here are some of Dr. Seuss' quotes:

1. “Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you.”

2. “Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.”

Dads & Donuts will be held Monday, March 2, 2015 from 6-7 pm.  This is also Dr. Suess' birthday.  Bring a book and bring dad, grandpa, brother, uncle, mom or friend.  Most importantly come have fun reading with all of your friends at East Meadows Elementary!  We hope to see you all there!

The fifth grade students have been earning "Love Bucks" for the month of February.  They earn these by showing good behavior and working well in the classroom.  On Friday, February, 27 the teachers and many parents set up fun carnival in the gym for the students to spend their well earned "Love Bucks."  Good job students and thank you parents that volunteered your time and talents.  

The fourth-grade students held a President's Day Sale in their classrooms today, February 27, 2015.  They each were asked to clean out their toys cupboards and bring 10-15 items to sell at market.  They all have been earning president bucks by staying on task and for good behavior.  They all looked like they were having fun while learning about commerce.

The third grade enjoyed a full ice cream bar today for their multiplication reward party.  They were able to choose how many toppings they got to put on their creation by passing off their multiplication facts.  They ended the day eating ice cream in their classrooms while watching a movie.  Thank you to the moms who came helped!
