December 2023
Our mission at MBI is to attend to and foster positive relationships with all stakeholders, ensure high levels of learning for all students, and show GRIT every day.

Bronco Leadership Code
Our Bronco Leadership Code is how we recognize our students each month at our GRIT assemblies. Each letter in LEADERSHIP stands for a trait we, as a district, strive to live out. December we are looking for ENTHUSIASM and will recognize students at our GRIT assemblies at the end of the month. Parents and families of students who are chosen will be contacted by their teachers and are invited to join us at these assemblies.
5th grade GRIT Assembly: Thursday, December 14
6th Grade GRIT Assembly: Friday, December 15

MBI Dress Up Days
Life App Fun Day
On Tuesday, December 19 we will have our Quarter 2 Fun Day! The main focus will be a 3-on-3 basketball tournament where students can choose their teams and have fun together. If a student chooses not to participate in the tournament, we will have alternate activities going on they can attend. Concessions will be sold for $1.50 each and all funds raised will go toward our end of year celebration. Sign ups are due December 15.
BEAST Week Fundraiser--Movie Day
Monday, December 18 will be our BEAST Week Movie day during Life App classes. Students can pay $5 to watch a movie. Snacks will be available for purchase for $2 and popcorn for $1. All proceeds will support a very deserving Mustang community member! This is one way Meadow Brook is able to make a positive impact. The permission slip and money must be turned in by December 13 to participate.

Attendance is Important
Missing school adds up! Our goal is for all MBI students to achieve 95% attendance or higher in the 23-24 school year. We are a fourth of the way through the year--where is your attendance rate currently sitting?
