The fifth graders end the school year by learning about one of the 50 United States. They each chose a state and learned interesting facts about that state. They wrote reports, made power points and made diorama's of their state. They were all put on display in their classrooms for parents and students to parade through and view thus calling it a State Fair.
East Meadows students participated in their first jog-a-thon as a school on Monday, May 18, 2015. The money is being raised to help put in some tetherball stands, support the PTA for next year's activities and give back to the school for any needs they may have. We want to give a big shout out to all those students who ran and walked yesterday. We will post the results next week as to the amount of money we were able raise. Thank you to all you parents, grand-parents, aunts, uncles, neighbors and anyone else who sponsored an East Meadows Student!
The third grade teachers and students explored the gardens at Thanksgiving Point on May 7, 2015 for their final field trip of the year.
Although the fourth grade field trip got changed due to weather conditions up Diamond Fork Canyon they still enjoyed a day seeing and being in nature. They traveled down to the Spanish Fork Sports Park and walked along the river trail. They had a speaker talk to them about a variety of birds such as: owls, hawks, pheasants, etc. They ate lunch at the park and played sharks and minnows and partner tag. All in all they still had a great time despite the weather.
The second grader's sang their end-of year program songs for the residents at Hearthstone Manor Assisted Living Facility in Spanish Fork on May 7, 2015. It is only a few blocks from East Meadows Elementary. They stopped at Abby Court Park on their way back to the school. Several students decided to help make the park look nice. They picked up trash and weeded the playground.
The Kindergarten went on their spring field trip to see Farm Country at Thanksgiving Point on Friday, May 1, 2015. They were able to see many farm animals and with hands on exhibits they learned what it's like to be a farmer. Thank you to our teachers and all our parent volunteers who attended with our students.
Here are some pictures of the 4th grade track meet held on May 5, 2015. Congratulations to all our 4th grade track participants!

Thank you East Meadows and the many wonderful volunteers, students and parents for making our "All-Star Hall of Fame" Teacher Appreciation Week so much fun. We have fantastic teachers and staff and love to show them how much we appreciate them. The students had fun seeing their teachers in the "Hall of Fame" and watching a Kickoff video, and joining in as we all wore our favorite sports team jerseys. We hope our teachers had a fun week and know that we think they are truly "All-Stars"!
