Friday Reminders  
  
Celebrate Earth Week 2016!  April 18 - 22!!

MONDAY 4/18 - Kick Off
Help us kick-off Earth Week with a campus clean up.  Pick up any trash you see throughout the day and keep our Meadows campus beautiful - if we see you in action, you may get a SKORR card!
 
Also, see the attached Go Green Challenge.  Turn it in at the office once you earn your 50 points and be entered to win a Yogurtland gift card!
 
TUESDAY 4/19 - Trash Free Lunch Day
Let's reduce the amount of trash we generate during lunch by using reusable containers and recycling.  We try to do this all year but let's make an extra special effort this week!
 
WEDNESDAY 4/20 - Walk or Wheel to School Wednesday
Get your hand stamped when you walk or wheel to school!
 
THURSDAY 4/21 - Pledge Day
Make a pledge to help the earth.  Write your pledge on the Meadows Earth Week Pledge Banner during your lunch time.  The banner will be hung outside of the cafeteria.  (Examples: I will turn off the water when brushing my teeth, I will turn out the light when I leave a room).  
 
FRIDAY 4/22 - Earth Day!  
Show your support for the Earth by wearing green to school - green will count for Spirit points!
  
The ultimate test of man's conscience may be his willingness to sacrifice something today for future generations whose word of thanks will not be heard

High Altitude Weather Balloon Launch!

Mrs. Michael was awarded the Teachers Driving Innovation grant in January to do a high-altitude weather balloon (HAB) launch with Meadows students. The "ground crew" team of K-5 students have been working hard, and it's time to launch! We would like to invite the Meadows community to our balloon launch THIS Saturday, April 16th. We will begin readying the payload around 8:30 AM, to release the balloon promptly at 9 AM on the Goodyear Airfield (where the Goodyear Blimp is moored, just off of the 405 freeway). 

  
Meadows YAA @ Johnny Rockets 4/5 - 4/19

Come and see the fabulous Kinetic Illusions project at the Johnny Rockets on Rosecrans!  Five classrooms from Meadows will have their artwork up at Johnny Rockets from April 5th until April 19th. (Legaspi, Radl, Sokol, Morris & Cubillos).  Please come by, enjoy a meal and a chance to win a party for your child and 8 friends.  All you have to do is write  your name, phone number and school on the back of the receipt and drop it into the YAA box at the restaurant.  One winner will be chosen at random each month.  In return, Johnny Rockets will donate 15% back to the YAA parent organization.  For more information, see the flyer on our website.
