Veteran's Day Breakfast and Assembly
MGM Family,
You are cordially invited to our Meadow Glen Middle School Veterans Breakfast and Assembly.
On Monday, November 11, 2019 we will honor our active duty and retired military veteran family members with a special breakfast and assembly. Students are encouraged to bring veteran family members to enjoy breakfast with them. The breakfast will be from 7:30 am-8:10 am. Immediately following the breakfast, we will have a school-wide assembly where we honor our veterans. We would love for you to stay for that, if possible.
Please RSVP to the breakfast by signing up online at Veteran's Day @ MGMS no later than Thursday, November 7, 2019, so that final preparations can be made.
We look forward to honoring our veterans. Thank you for your service.
Zen at the Glen
Parents and Guardians: Zen at the Glen is happening November 4-8! The MGM Counselors want to invite you into what your students are learning this week through CREW lessons, Counseling lessons, and a Stress Reduction Fair on Thursday! Students will be learning healthy coping skills, stress management, and suicide prevention. We encourage students and families to share the healthy coping strategies they have learned over a meal together this week!
