Dads and Donuts has become a tradition at East Meadows Elementary.  On Tuesday, March 5, 2013 students and their dad’s, brothers, grandpa’s and even some mom’s filling in packed the hallways and classrooms at the school.  The PTA presented a new book to each student at the school that they brought with them to read or be read too by their dad.  It is always such a treat to see all those at the school reading and spending time with their children.  As the night ended they were treated to a fresh donut also provided by the PTA.  Thank you dads and all the many others

Submitted by trisha.olsen on

Sub-Zero Ice cream and yogurt combine science and ice cream to create a wonderful scientific experiment that tastes good. They came to East Meadows Elementary to present an assembly for us in conjunction with the Science Fair. Using liquid nitrogen at -321 Fahrenheit they can make a custom made ice cream just for you in seconds. They discussed the elemental properties of nitrogen, gas laws and the Leidenfrost Effect and the application of science to food. The students had a great time learning and watching as they were sprayed with non-toxic nitrogen smoke.
