Good evening, Explorers! Check out Exploring the Glen and our MGES website for continuous information about our school.
The Meadow Glen Elementary BOOSTERTHON was a success and we had a blast at our Glow Run on Friday!
Your help raising money continues to allow us the opportunity to fund field trips and provide many extras in the classrooms. We will also be able to begin the process of getting some TURF on the big playground where our students play soccer and football. Thank you for your continued commitment to the students and staff at MGES.
And, I’ll be checking the weather and planning a trip to the roof of MGES as we met our fundraising goal. Be on the lookout, students…I’ll be camping on the roof one day soon!
