Dear Country Meadows Families,
As we enter the final month of the school year, I want to commend our students for their perseverance and dedication, especially as they completed the Spring MAP assessment. We’re proud of their efforts and growth. As we wrap up the year, we have a variety of exciting events planned to celebrate our achievements and finish the year strong!
As the weather shifts toward warmer days, please remind students to check the lost and found—it's filling up quickly with jackets, water bottles, and other items that need to be claimed.
I hope everyone has a great weekend!
Kindly,
Aska Lempke
Principal
