September 2015

Parents and students remember that it is Picture Day on Friday October 2, 2015.

BE SURE to send your student's envelope with it filled out and money in it (or code for on line orders) before they have their pictures taken.

Thanks!!!

This year East Meadows is participating in the Youth Leadership Development program.

Ahoy Mateys!  Arrgh school is filled with treasure!  We honored several teachers in our Good As Gold Assembly on Wednesday and found out some fun things about each teacher in the process.

Did you know Mrs. McEntire solves all the world's problems in the middle of the night?  She also loves to each chocolate and read a good book.  When she is tired she bakes...a lot! She is surrounded by her incredible husband and wonderful kids; they make her feel complete!

East Meadows students were honored in our Good As Gold award assembly Wednesday morning.  All awards follow our pirate theme for the year.  There was 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.

Our school carnival was a big success. We would like to thank our parents, students,faculty and all the volunteers who made it possible. A BIG thanks goes out to our PTA!!!

Third grade went to Salem Pond to learn about and study the weltands. They looked for living and non living things, they analyzed three different water sources, they evaluated a duck feather, and they built their own wetland habitat. They were also lucky enough to have Mr.Hogle come and teach about water pollution and the effects it has on the ecosystem. A huge thank you to Mr. Hogle and all our parent volunteers for a fabulous field trip!

Hello Parents!

I am excited to join the faculty at East Meadows Elementary as your new School Counselor.

I enjoy Diet Coke and chips n' salsa, reading, traveling, the outdoors and spending time with my children.

MS. Haskell's 2nd grade class learned about the Constitution Day on September 17th.

The students learned why the Constitution was written. They learned about the Preamble and how it applies to each of them. Each student made a feather pen and ink, and were able to write with their pen.

4th Grade just finished up with their Utah Native American Unit. They had fun weaving baskets, making teepees, making Indian rugs and a diorama.
