Friday Focus
Week of September 12 - 16
Dr. Muri's Visit
Dr. Muri visits every campus, every year. This year, like last year, he started his journey with Meadow Wood. He met with us on Thursday afternoon and provided us with an update on the district initiatives. After the presentation, he asked us two questions: What opportunities do we forsee as a result of the initiatives, and what challenges did we forsee? At the end, he opened it up for our staff to ask him questions.
As a followup, our staff was asked to provide feedback to Dr. Muri through a survey.
Open House & PTA Meeting
Tuesday, Sep 13, 2016, 05:00 PM
14230 Memorial Drive, Houston, TX, United States
Open House / Curriculum Night (5 - 6)
This year we will be "flipping" the information for Curriculum Night, meaning that we will be providing you with the presentations prior to the meeting on Tuesday evening. (today or Monday).
That will give you an opportunity to review the information before coming, and also have it afterwards as a reference. Also, those of you who have more than one child will still have the information from the presentation.
The presentations will also be on our website after the event.
PTA Meeting (6 - 7)
Our PTA meeting will begin at 6:00 p.m. and will be in the cafeteria. Our staff members will also attend the PTA meeting.
CONGRATULATIONS
Cynthia Brown, Amy Griffith, Courtney McCord and Kay Taylor were the winners of the J. Landon Short Mini-Grant from the Spring Branch Educational Foundation.
They were surprised this morning with a visit from Jennifer Cobb, notifying them that they had been awarded the grant. Jennifer Cobb is an SBEF Board Member, and is also a MWE parent.
The teachers will use the funds to purchase additional Reading materials.
Yearbook Cover Design Contest
Get your markers ready, we're designing the cover for the 2016-2017 yearbook!
All 3rd-5th grade Meadow Wood Students are invited to enter their drawings in our Yearbook Cover Contest. One winner will be selected to be displayed on the front cover of the yearbook by a panel.
Look for entry forms in your FRIDAYFOLDER. Submissions will be due Friday, October 14th. The theme for this year is "You are an Essential Piece of the Puzzle!". Artwork for the cover should reflect the theme.
Meet the Teachers
We will be sharing some fun, informal videos we did with our staff when we first came back to work. Staff members were asked a couple of impromptu questions. We hope you enjoy!
This first video features our PreK/K team.
ADDITIONAL CROSSING GUARD
The City of Houston is paying for an additional crossing guard - morning and afternoon, and the new crossing guard will start next week.
We will now have one crossing guard on each side of the street - morning and afternoon.
