Happy Friday!
  
In Honor of Earth Day
              

It's not too late to celebrate Earth Day - here are some opportunities!


 

Congratulations to fifth grader Joshua Cigoianu for being awarded the Environmental Hero Award!  He was chosen for this honor for his leadership and hard work with his water conservation project. You can see Joshua receive this award at the Annual Earth Day Celebration and Concert at Polliwog Park, Saturday, April 25, 2015 from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM.  Way to go Joshua!!!

 

Be green and please consider purchasing a lunchbox (or replace a few pieces from your old one) from Go Green Lunchboxes and a portion of the proceeds will benefit Meadows PTA!  Yay!  See the flyer for more info.


 

FREE Electronics Recycling Event - Saturday, April 25th from 11am - 3pm at MBMS.  Be green and bring your eWaste to be recycled.  Proceeds benefit MBMS, too.  See the flyer about the details about what can be recycled!


 

Spring "Gear" Cleaning -   Be green and donate your new/used baseball gear! The donations of new/used gear will go to needy kids here and in Cuba. A Pacific parent has been traveling to Cuba this past year delivering baseball gear to poor neighborhoods. A catchers glove, for example, is worth 8 months salary there.

 

Where: Marine East field

When: Saturday 4/25 from Noon to 6pm   
What: Gloves, bats, jerseys, pants or hats.
