PE News
Hi parents! I am excited to announce that we begin Marathon Kids in PE soon! We will count miles in school, and you will also have opportunities to track miles at home!! I know a lot of your kids were really excited about Little Lions Running Club a few years ago, and this is a way to keep their excitement and activity level up while the club is on hold due to covid. Please ignore the emails that were automatically sent out as I set the program up on the backend. I will send an announcement and a new email once we are up and "running"!

Lost and Found Items
Any lost and found items not picked up will be donated over Thanksgiving break. If your child has misplaced a water bottle, jacket, or lunch box, please come up and look through the items by Nov. 19.
Checking your student out early
The expectation for every student is to attend a full day of school. We understand an occasional early day for a doctor’s appointment, but when a student is repeatedly being checked out early, it means the student misses out on academic work on a regular basis. Excessive days of checking a student out early can lead to a meeting with the attendance committee. Please make sure they are here an entire school day, because our teachers teach all the way up to dismissal. Thank you!
Spelling Bee
Planning to participate in this year's Spelling Bee? Sign up by Nov. 30! Find details here.

Weekend Recap
Thank you for joining us for ViP's Trunk or Treat and our Community Garden Workday this weekend!
Our students, families, and community came together to make two amazing events such a success. Trunk or Treat was a smash thanks to our entire community, from ViP members planning to families donating candy and water to volunteering before, during, and after, to the hundreds of Meridian Lions joining us and enjoying the evening!
For the rain garden work day, volunteers saved the school $9,000 by coming out to plant on Saturday! You really did some heavy lifting!
A special thanks to Round Rock Garden Center for donating pollinator plants, garden soil, and mulch to our Monarch Waystation Garden, in addition to presenting the school with a $500 check, as part of their Give & Grow fundraising program. The donation allowed us to finish planting out the entire playground area, and butterflies are already enjoying the nectar.
