We are excited to announce the creation of the East Meadows School Choir.  The choir is open to all students in 4th and 5th grade.  Practices will be held on Thursday afternoons from 3:15-4:15 pm.  They will start next week and run through April 20th (no practice over Spring Break).  There is a $10 participation fee to cover the cost of a t-shirt and sheet music.  See the sign-up for details on how to pay.     

As we prepare for White Ribbon Week next week where we will be talking to students about internet safety and digital citizenship, please take a moment to watch this impactful video about important things parents can do to help their children thrive.

Our younger grade students just celebrated the 100th day of school.  Throughout the day, students celebrated 100 days of learning by participating in a variety of activities.  Many students even dressed up to commemorate the event.  

Love to Read Month is underway.  Students have their punch cards and should be reading each night and marking off those punches.  The goal is to read at least 20 times during the month of February.  Completed punch cards are due by February 28th!  

On Friday, February 3rd, our 4th grade students enjoyed PIONEER DAY complete with making their own butter and performing the Virginia Reel for parents.  They have been learning about the pioneers and their contribution to Utah history.  

It's LOVE TO READ MONTH at East Meadows!  Students have been challenged to do their nightly reading at least 20 times during the month of February.  Each time your child completes their daily reading, they can punch or cross off a square on their punch card.  At the end of the month, return the punch card to the teacher.  Punch cards can be used to "shop" at the ice cream truck that will travel around the school at our Seuss-A-Palooza event on March 3rd.
