I'm happy to share that there were no positive cases this week in our pool testing! We will resume Pool Testing next Wednesday since Monday is a holiday.
Mask Update: As of last Thursday, masking outdoors is optional for students and adults at school. Masking indoors continues to be mandatory for everyone in school. All students must wear a mask when in the classroom. The CDPH still recommends that those who are not fully vaccinated wear a mask in crowded outdoor settings.
Adults and students entering the front office are required to wear a mask. Please remember that if you are volunteering on campus, you will need to show either your vaccine status or a clear Covid test result when you sign in at the office as well as wear a mask the entire time you are inside.
Thank you for your ongoing cooperation and for helping to keep everyone safe at school. Our District will monitor this return to optional outdoor masking and adjust if it becomes necessary.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Art Contest Winner!
You can enjoy the artwork done by the children and youth of San Mateo here.
Meadow Heights students learned about three significant African American artists this February in honor of Black History Month. Enjoy samples of our student artwork below.
Kindergarten and first grade friends studied abstract expressionist pieces by Alma Woodsey Thomas. Thomas was the first black woman to have a solo show at the Whitney Museum, and a piece in the permanent White House collection. After learning about her cheerful work, and warm, cool, and complementary colors, our littlest Mustangs painted rainbows in her signature stripes.
Our second and third graders learned about Atlanta contemporary artist Reginald Laurent. After exploring organic and geometric shapes, balance in composition, and line designs, each middle grader made a collage modeled after Laurent’s “Life and Love” series.
Folk artist Clementine Hunter, a descendent of slaves from Louisiana, provided inspiration for our big kids in fourth and fifth grades. After reading Hunter’s biography, Art from her Heart, and learning about obstacles she faced during segregation, each student painted a floral still life modeled after her famous Zinnias.
