The Meadows School of Rock Yearbook is coming to our school in June.  Don't be left out!  Order by January 31st here.  Cost is $40 for the new hard cover book - think a Shutterfly book.  Personalization is extra.   Any questions, please contact us at meadowsyearbook12@gmail.com.

Thank you to all the wonderful Meadows families who donated, helped to sort and pack, and gave monetary donations in support of the Philippines Relief Effort back in November.  Our school was able to send 60 large boxes of clothing and other supplies, as well as a cash donation that was used to purchase medical supplies.  A big thank you to Cora Cruz and her family for organizing this effort and for seeing it through all the way to the Phillippines.  Please see the video and then also go to the following links to see where your donations went and how much this meant to those in need.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!

It's easy to earn money for Meadows!  All you have to do is clip out Box Tops for Education! 

The Box Tops are located on many of the products that you already buy.  When you see Box Tops, clip them out and return them to school. There is a largecollection box in the front officeand also in your child's classroom.  Every Box Top counts!  If we all get in the habit of clipping out the Box Tops, we could literally earn thousands of dollars for our school! If you have any questions, please call Teresa Hymowitz 310-990-7665
