Ladies, join us for a night of relaxation on the patio of Salt Creek Grille in El Segundo on Tuesday, May 22 from 7-10pm. This night is to reward yourself for all you do as a mother. All ladies are welcome, so grab a friend and come on down. Please purchase your tickets by May 16, by dropping off your order form (available on the Meadows website or in your Tuesday envelope) and with a check made payable to Meadows PTA. Don't miss a chance to have a fun evening with your fellow Meadows moms! 

Attention 5th grade parents! Want to get an insider's view of MBMS? Come watch Scholar Quiz! This high-speed academic competition (think Jeopardy at 100 mph) galvanizes the entire campus for seven days in the Spring each year. Join the lunch time fun (12:30 - 1:20) during the early rounds May 23 and May 24, or the finals on June 1 at 1:00 pm. It's a great way to get a feel for the Middle School. Questions? Contact Sally Alder at sally.alder@verizon.net.

Our next restaurant fundraiser will be at CPK on Wednesday, May 30th. A portion of the day's proceeds will be donated to Meadows Elementary. Please present the flyer when ordering. CPK is also holding a contest - the classroom that brings in the most money will have pizzas delivered to their class for an end of the year pizza party! Write your teacher's name on the flyer (or two teachers if you want the amount split between two classes) to receive credit. The fundraiser is from opening until closing! Office luncheons, inviting friends and family and take out orders are all great ways to earn points. 

Don't buy your summer reading books just yet, come join your school on Thursday, May 31 from 5:30-8:30pm for a fun evening at B&N! Have dinner or dessert in the café, enjoy the scavenger hunt and story time while stocking up on summer books. Recommended summer reading lists will be available with tables set up by grade to encourage our readers. Raffle tickets will be available for purchase before and at the event for a NOOK color tablet. Invite your friends! All proceeds benefit Meadows PTA. Questions? Contact Emily Macias gemacias@verizon.net.
