A Note from the Principal...
September went by so fast, I cannot believe that we are in the month of October already! During the month of September students built relationships with their peers and their teachers and learned about being respectful to others and the Meachem community.
Thank you to all the parents that are abiding by our visiting policy and signing in when entering the building. Keeping your children safe at school is our number one priority.
Please continue to support our Schoolwide Expectations on being Peaceful, Productive, Healthy and Happy. Talking to your child about school expectations is a great way to reinforce appropriate school behaviors.
This month's life skill is 'Responsible.' Responsibility means being dependable, making good choices, and taking accountability for your actions. A responsible student looks out for the well being of others and understands we all have a part to play in making the world a better place.
PAX Leaders of the Week
Each week classroom teachers choose one student per grade level that exhibit PAX characteristics of being 'Peaceful, Productive, Healthy and Happy' while they are here at Meachem. This award is given to students that consistently follow the Meachem expectations and to students that show significant improvements in following expectations. The PAX leader is recognized each Monday at our school-wide morning assembly and is celebrated throughout the week.

One School, One Book: Wish Tree
We are so excited to let you all know that this year Meachem is participating in the One School, One Book program. With One School, One Book, schools select a book and each student receives a copy to read at home with their family. At school, our students will celebrate and explore the novel with their classmates. This essential strategy reinforces reading instruction, increases parental involvement, bridges the home-school connection, and builds a true community of readers. The book that Meachem has chosen is Wish Tree; students will go home with their copy of the book on Monday, October 24th. Please expect to see their book and their reading packet on the 24th.
Meachem Spirit Wear
Don't forget every Friday is Meachem Spirit Wear Day to communicate how much we care about our Meachem Community.
Caught Being Kind Cards
Each day at Meachem we celebrate kindness on the morning announcements. The teachers recognize students that are 'caught' doing random acts of kindness with a 'Caught Being Kind' card. Please ask your child if they have been recognized yet!
