Good Afternoon, Meadowbrook Families! 

It was another great week for our Meadowbrook Superstars! It was bitter cold most of the week, and we found ways to stay positive and productive.

Thank you for your coin donations for the Third Grade Girl Scouts troop. The classroom winner was Farris-Rick! They collected $128.96. WOO HOO!! The Third Grade Troop is so excited to present Feed My Starving Children with a donation of $914.99 thanks to the amazing generosity of our Meadowbrook Community!

We made it to our 100th day of school! Check out the Meadowbrook Facebook Page for some fun pictures.

Enjoy the weekend with your family.

See you on Monday,

Ericka
