Halloween most certainly "Rocked" this year at East Meadows.  Students,  teachers and staff dressed in various Halloween costumes for the day.  The highlight was of course the class parties and the annual parade.  Many thanks to the teachers and parents who made this such a fun day for our kids!

The teachers and staff at East Meadows know how to dress-up and have fun on Halloween.  Thank you or making it a fun day for the kids!

East Meadows enjoyed an energetic, fun, jump rope assembly on October 17, 2013.  The "Just Jumpin" jump rope workshop was made of kids of all ages.  They showed off their stunts accompanied by modern music.  Our students loved it.  They sang, clappped hands and smiled as the group dazzled them with some pretty amazing moves.  The "Just Jumpin" group is sponsored by Intermountain LiVe Well.  Their mission statement is: to inspire, motivate and educate children and youth through the unlimited opportunities that jump rope provides.

The week of October 14-21 was Ribbon Week at East Meadows.  To get in the spirit of each day the kids and faculty all wore the color of the day.  Each student was also given a bracelet for the color of the day.  Monday started off the week with "Turn off the TV and Talk Day."  The students wore yellow this day.  They were asked to turn off the TV and turn of your life!  They were encouraged to participate in a fun family activity instead of sitting in front of the TV.  Tuesday was Drug Free day.

As part of the Farm Field Trip the second-grade took on October 4, 2013 they stopped to get pumpkins.  Each student took the pumpkin home to decorate and bring back to school to put on display for the week of October 14-18.  We welcome all to come to school and admire all the pumpkin creations in the 2nd grade hall.  Thank you parents for your help to decorate and support this fun activity.
