The time has come to say “see you next year!”. Students finished out the day with our incredible PTO sponsored winter parties and the opportunity to have some fun before heading out for winter break.

NEW *Student Return after Winter Break*
This is a friendly reminder that students return to school on Tuesday, January 4, 2022! We will see you then!
NEW *Golden Paws*
This year we have introduced the exciting GOLDEN PAW. Golden paws are earned when an entire class is seen exhibiting PRO (People Respecting Others) behavior that is respectful, responsible, or peaceful. For example, a class may earn a Golden Paw for being respectful to a substitute the day a teacher is absent, listening and adhering to lunch room expectations, or walking quietly/peacefully in the hallways.
This weeks Golden Paws winners include:
- Cannistra
- Eisinger
- Mason
- Thompson
- Wooster
- Widmaier
- Jacobson
- Gorodiski
- Levy
Keep up the great work, Country Meadows PROs!
