ASB Beach Bash Bonanza—May 19th!!!
ASB is inviting all Mustangs to come and party at our Beach Bash Bonanza on May 19th from 2:45-5:00 PM in the quad! We will have food, games, music, crafts, a photo station, and our first-ever spikeball and cornhole tournaments for prizes.
Tickets are only $5 and are on sale now during student lunch in front of the Mustang Market. Teams for the tournament must be two students and sign-ups take place when tickets are purchased. The spots are limited so interested teams should buy their tickets and sign up quickly. The ticket includes nachos, a hot dog, dessert, water, and a complementary picture.
The last day to purchase a ticket to the Beach Bash Bonanza is May, 16th!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
A heartfelt thank you to all the families for your generous donations and time to make Teacher Appreciation Week extra special. Each day was unique, and it wouldn't have been possible without your support. THANK YOU!

It’s Not Just About Free or Reduced-Price Meals
Although school meals are now free to all students under California’s new Universal Meals Program, the application for free and reduced-price meals is still very important. School funding depends in part on the number of students that qualify for free or reduced-price meals. With all students now eating for free, fewer families are completing the application and schools are at risk of losing funds. Household income information is confidential and applying online is quick and easy. Plus, students that qualify for free or reduced-price meals may also qualify for discounts on transportation, SAT and AP tests, home internet, and college application fees. Apply online at MySchoolApps.com, or pick up a paper application in the school office.
Free School Breakfast & Lunch
All PUSD students are eligible to receive free breakfast and lunch meals regardless of income for the 2022-2023 school year. Meadowbrook will have breakfast available at 7:30 A.M. on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and 8:50 A.M. on Wednesdays. Please see the PUSD Food and Nutrition Website and School Menus for more information.
Parents/Guardians are still encouraged to complete a meal application online to receive other benefits such as a Pandemic EBT card for each child. The website to apply is www.myschoolapps.com. Please see the More than a Meal flyer for more information.
Paper meal applications are available in our front office.
