Three classes went the extra mile and returned the most boxtops for our Box Tops Drive, winning a rootbeer float party.  Mrs. Rowland's class was the winner, with Mrs. Hogle's coming in second and Mrs. Aguero's third.  We want to thank all the students, parents, and grandparents that take time to clip box tops and send them in with our students.  The money received goes directly to our school. Please continue to send them in with your students. Congratulations to our 3 classes!

In conjunction with our school Science Fair on Wednesday, January 29, the students and faculty enjoyed a reptile assembly.  The students were entertained as well as educated.  There were several screams, lots of laughter, and many smiles.  They enjoyed seeing a tarantula, a scorpion, lizards, tortoises, an alligator, snakes and a giant python.  The learned to respect these animals as some of them are very dangerous.  They learned about the different habitats and foods these reptiles eat.  At the end of the assembly they were even able to touch the giant python.  This was the highlight of th

Everyone knows Nichol Lyman is an amazing Kindergarten teacher.  As these timid …..and many times scared little students enter her room at the beginning of each year, she is patient, kind and loves each one of them.  It is always her goal to make their 1st year of school a very positive experience.  She is extremely organized, has lots of energy and runs an orderly but fun classroom.  But more than that, Nichol always knows what each of her students need and makes sure they get the help, attention, and interventions they need to succeed.  As students advance through the grades….they  always

East Meadows students were entertained as well as educated during a stunt bike assembly on Thursday, January 16, 2014.  Rich Wieber and his partners travel all over the United States performing for students.  Along with their stunts and tricks they teach the students about bicycle safety, the dangers of drugs, alcohol and tobacco, bullying, setting goals and achieving them and determination.  The highlight of the event was when one of the bikers jumped over four of our teachers.     

The fifth-grade students enjoyed an array of science experiments today as part of their science unit.  They learned about chemical reactions by mixing things together such as Diet Coke and Mentos.  To end the day they made ice cream in baggies and enjoyed eating it. 

The first grade teachers and students celebrated Christmas by having a Polar Express Day on December 19.  The students decorated boxes at home to look like train cars.  They brought them to school and paraded through the halls on their way to the North Pole.  When arriving at their destination they watched the movie Polar Express while sipping on Hot Cocoa and eating doughnuts.  Thank you to all the parent volunteers who made this a magical day for the students.  Merry Christmas to All!

You better watch out. You better not cry.  You never know when Santa Claus will visit East Meadows Elementary.  Santa surprised all the classrooms on Wednesday, December 18.  He brought a bag of classroom activities for each class.  He also visited our preschool party.
