It's Time for the PTA Membership Classroom Contest!
| 
Thank you Meadows families for all of your support in our PTA Membership drive so far! We are so happy to be well on our way to meeting our membership participation and fundraising goals, and it's all because of our amazing Mustang families!
Today starts our Membership Classroom Contest: every classroom with 100% PTA membership participation by Friday, 10/16 earns $100 in extra classroom supplies for your child's teacher. Last year we had 96% of Meadows families join the PTA, and we'd like to hit the 100% mark this year! Please remember that every donation amount matters, and it all goes to support our teachers and kids every single day at school.
It's also not too late to become a Super Stang and pop that nifty magnet on the side of your car:
Please contact Katie Driscoll & Becky McCalla at meadowsmembership@gmail.com if you have any questions. |

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!

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.
