Meadowview gets a Free Little Library!
An Eagle Scout Service Project, or more simply the Eagle Project, is the opportunity for a Boy Scout in the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) to demonstrate leadership of others while performing a project for the benefit of his community.
Meadowview, Edgewood and Sipley schools are the fortunate recipients of an Eagle Project from Jon Silkaitis, Troop 80, of Downers Grove, Illinois.
Jon has built Free Little Libraries for each of these schools. Jon built, installed, and hand painted each of them with the colors and mascots of the schools.
Free Little Libraries allow people to share their love of reading with their community. These libraries will be stocked with books for both adults and children. Student leaders will be caretakers of these libraries at their respective schools.
Prairie Area Reading Council, a local affiliate of the Illinois Reading Council, is the proud sponsor of this project! The Free Little Libraries are expected to be completed before winter break.
NEW PAWS!
Students earn PAWS for being respectful, responsible, and/or safe. These are the three big expectations for Meadowview! We expect students to behave this way in all areas of the building from the playground, to the lunchroom, to the hallways, to assemblies, to the bus, etc! PAWS can be given to students by ANY staff member whenever they catch the students acting respectful, responsible, and/or safe.
All the PAWS that are not chosen, go into the "big" container for the Trimester Grand Prize!
Stay tuned for what that prize will be!
