Hi Mustangs! Take a minute to find out what's happening at Meadows Elementary!
|
MUSTANG TROT FRIDAY 830am!!
| |
In addition to being a jog-a-thon that brings together our kids, staff and parents, this is our fall FUNdrai$er! We have 387 runners and if every runner raised $60, we would be at a RECORD HIGH for fundraising for the Mustang Trot. What does that mean? Think of all the enrichment programs at Meadows - Cultural Arts, Science Night, Young At Art, Growing Great and the Assemblies... Mustang Trot would pay for all that!! Think of all the Campus Improvements - the plants at Pride Day, the new Murals on our freshly painted campus, the PE Equipment... That could be covered from the Mustang Trot!! Or think of 5th Grade Graduation, Running Club, Student Council, the Talent Show... Consider donating to Mustang Trot to continue these amazing experiences for the children at Meadows!
