Good Afternoon, Meadowbrook Families. 


What a LOVELY week for our Meadowbrook SuperStars! It was good to see everyone between our Valentine's Day parties and our Parent/Teacher Conferences.


Thanks to the PTO for feeding our staff during conferences, and thank you for filling out the 5Essentials Survey while you were here.


Parents' Night Out is next weekend. Can't wait to see you there!



Enjoy the long weekend with your family.

See you on Tuesday,


Ericka
