Dear Country Meadows Families,
What an incredible week it has been!
Our students absolutely rocked the bus evacuation and fire drill exercises – safety always comes first, and they nailed it!
And as if that wasn't enough excitement, we wrapped up the week with a PAWsome Cub Crawl! The weather even played along, and our students had a blast. A big thank you to the PTO for generously providing a shirt for each and every student. Your support is greatly appreciated!
Next week, we'll have a fantastic opportunity to come together during the Family Educator Conferences. It's a chance to connect, discuss, and collaborate, ensuring our students continue to thrive.
Have a wonderful weekend!
