Portrait: NEED ONE
Fundraiser: WHY NOT? It's a WIN/WIN/WIN.
It's a great time to take a family portrait! The weather is perfect. Your kids are growing so fast. Family portraits are nice to have on your mantle and great for Christmas card pictures, especially ones taken at the beach! AND half of the $45 sitting fee (plus 15% of your order) goes to our school. How can you pass this up?
To book your appointment, call JW Photography (310-640-7212) or mail the form directly back to them. Forms were in your child's Tues envelope, extra forms are available in the office or click the link to download a copy. Questions? email jjcorr1@yahoo.com |

Skechers Pier to Pier Friendship Walk, October 25th
| 
Come join your friends, neighbors and classmates at the SKECHERS Pier to Pier Friendship Walk on Sunday, October 25th! Meadows has formed a team and we hope you'll join us to show your support, and have a great time!
Be sure to designate your contribution to MBEF so your registration fee will directly support OUR schools! If you can't participate, consider becoming a "virtual walker". Last year, for every $25 registration or donation, MBEF and our schools received over $150 from the SKECHERS Foundation - totaling $100,000. Let's top that this year!
Along the course you'll encounter celebrities from your kids' favorite television shows, drum lines, a costume contest, cheerleaders, and all sorts of fun! This is a great community event you don't want to miss. We hope to see you there!

S hopping for Students is a program that awards our school with free money. If your family did any shopping at the mall from May 1, 2015 to present, your receipts turn into points that in turn get money for Meadows. You may turn in your receipts into the box in the front office, use the e-receipts for receipts you receive via email or bring them to the concierge which is located in the front of Macy's Men store. Please see flyer for details or go to the Shopping for Students website for more information.
