Be Here. Be You. Belong!
Dear Meadow Point Families,
What an amazing month it has been. Our students are engaged and learning at high levels! Thank you for your support of our PTCO Fun Run, our students are so lucky to have such an amazing group of parents leading the fundraising. This week we begin the month long celebration of Hispanic Heritage, and while we respect and uplift the identities of all of our students year-round, we also appreciate heritage months that offer a special opportunity to celebrate, and center the individual identities of our students.
