On Wednesday night, the Country Meadows Singers (4th and 5th Graders) and the Rhythm Band (2nd, 3rd, and 4th Graders) performed for beaming parents and siblings! They did an AMAZING job, have learned so much this year, and are unbelievably talented. At the performance, some 4th and 5th graders dazzled the audience by performing the music to "Firework" by Katy Perry on iPads! That was definitely a first for Country Meadows and really cool!
Also on Wednesday, we hosted a Fire Drill! The boys and girls of Country Meadows evacuated in less than a minute. We know that they would be safe if there was a true emergency.
The Fire Department brought "The Smoke House" to Country Meadows so the 4th grade students could practice evacuating a home in the event of a fire. It is so important that families have escape plans and children know what to do in an emergency. We would never want anyone to get hurt in a fire. As we tell the kids, if we practice what to do if there's an emergency, we can automatically know how to respond when a situation arises.
The Future Country Meadows Cubs paid us a visit on Thursday! The first graders that will be starting next year toured the school, participated in art-music-PE-LRC, and saw a movie about the first day of school. They were so lucky to bring home 2 CM pencils and a backpack tag to decorate their backpacks for the first day of school.
Finally, everyone had an awesome time at the Family Picnic despite the rain. I love that a little bit of weather does not stop the CM Community from having a great time!
With ABC Countdown still shaking and many great experiences coming up next week (yearbook signing, field trips, field day, and more!), school is still the coolest place to be!
