Thank You, Maynard!
The results of the Debt Exclusion Vote at the Maynard Special Election on Tuesday, November 7, Question 1, are as follows: 1,504 yes to 329 no. We are very grateful to the Town of Maynard for the support of the Green Meadow Building Project. We look forward to the next steps. Thank you for investing in our students!
Winter Clothing
It's getting cold outside and students need to be prepared with winter clothing. Please make sure your child has a warm coat, a hat, and mittens or gloves on these cold days. When the weather turns to snow, students will need boots and snow pants. We go outside in all kinds of weather! Please add your child's name to their winter gear in the event they leave something behind. If your child needs winter clothing, please email Ann Rutherford at arutherford@maynard.k12.ma.us.

Veterans Day Breakfast and Parade
What a wonderful morning we had on Thursday, November 9, thanking our local veterans for their service to our country! We had about 25 veterans attend the breakfast hosted by the Green Meadow PTO. Students in Grades K-3 participated in a gradtitude parade and our Grade 3 students performed three songs under the direction of Green Meadow's music teacher, Cindy Blanchard. A lovely time was had by all. Many thanks to our PTO volunteers for their support with the event!
