Mustang Memo

The weather is cooling down, fall is in the air and we are ready for everything October brings. Several grade levels will be visiting the pumpkin patch, fall break is just a couple weeks away and before we know it, Halloween festivities will begin.

Many thanks to those who attended our SEP Conferences. If you weren't able to attend, please reach out to your child's teacher to make an appointment.

Our annual PTA fundraiser and glow dance party was a big success. It was fun to see so many families out enjoying the evening. The PTA appreciates your support of this event.

Please read through the rest of this newsletter for information about all the upcoming activities at East Meadows!

This year, Tabitha's Way is teaming with the Spanish Fork elementary schools to gather food items to create Thanksgiving Dinner Boxes that will be given to local families in need. Our assigned item to collect is FROSTING that will be paired with cake mixes to go in the boxes. Please see the flyer below. If you would like to donate some containers of frosting, send them to the school the week of October 28th to November 1st.

October 28th - November 1st is Red Ribbon Week. Students will be learning ways to live a happy, safe, drug free life. Dress up days will be held throughout the week. Watch for an infographic that will be coming soon with all of the details.

Our Halloween Parade will be held on Thursday, October 31st at 2:15 PM. We are looking forward to this fun annual event.

Our parade route will begin at the schoool and we will be walking around the entire block ( along 1400 S. and down 2300 E.) and then back to the school.

The best viewing spots for parents are in the front of the school by the flagpole, anywhere around the block or on the blacktop and playground on the North East side of the school. Many parents enjoy watching from their cars or lawnchairs along 1400 S. or by the fence that runs along 2300 E. Please don't block the sidewalk.

At the end of the parade, students will be walked back to their classrooms and any parent wanting to check their child out early will need to enter through the front office to sign them out.

Can't wait to see you there!
