Box Tops for Education

box tops for education

It's easy to earn money for Meadows!  We've already earned over $500!  Please send in any Box Tops that you have as soon as possible.  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 large collection box in the front office and 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.

Congratulations Meadows' Parents Softball Team!

Congratulations to the Meadows Parents who played in this Sunday's MBX Softball Tournament and advanced to the Championship Game! The team battled stiff competition, sore muscles and a grueling back-to-back schedule to reach the finals where they were narrowly edged 10 to 9 by a comeback win from American Martyrs. The Mustang spirit was strong and proud! Thank you team for representing the Meadows community!
