Thank you for going the extra mile and making history something students don’t just learn—but actually enjoy. You make the past a total blast!"
Making the past a blast sounds like a class we ALL want to take!

STAFF SHOUT:
"I just wanted to take a moment to recognize Tricia Rose (Bus Driver/Silver Creek Safety Aide) for the incredible work she does with our students. Her patience, kindness, and ability to connect with the kids truly stand out. She creates a safe and supportive environment, and because of that, she’s helped build strong, meaningful relationships with many of our students. Her impact does not go unnoticed, and she’s a big part of what makes our team so strong."

STUDENT SHOUT:
"I wanted to give a shout-out to Ms. Hunter. She doesn’t just help me learn, she’s someone I can always go to with anything. She takes the time to listen, she’s kind, and she genuinely cares about her students. She always reminds me, “you’re braver than you believe, stronger than you feel, and smarter than you think,” and that’s something that’s really stuck with me. It's helped me get through tough moments and believe in myself more. Seeing her every morning has made a big impact on my junior year, and it’s something I look forward to. She creates a space where I feel comfortable and supported, and that really means a lot. I couldn't ask for a better teacher, and I'm really grateful for everything she does."
Ms. Hunter is never afraid to have FUN with her students, while still keeping her standards high and academics first. She reaches kids in the BEST way!

KINDNESS AND SERVICE 😍
Meadowvale 3rd graders completed their Day of Service project! This year, students stuffed goody bags and wrote letters for the firefighters at Local #23. Today, they were able to give the firefighters their goodies and cards, and thank them face-to-face!
