Green Meadow students have been very busy reading and talking about books during our Read Across America Challenge! We will share more about exactly how many minutes students have been reading next week but we wanted to remind you that our challenge culminates with an All-School Pajama Day on Friday, April 4th!
Students can return their challenge suitcases through Wednesday, April 2, to be entered into the prize drawing. We will have a winner from each classroom!
We want to thank our Green Meadow community for supporting students as they completed the Read Across America challenge again this year.
Students read 165, 550 minutes outside of school in the month of March!
That is equal to 2,759 hours.
That means they collectively read the equivalent of 114.95 days.
This is AMAZING! We will celebrate on Friday with an All-School Pajama Day and an assembly. We announced our 24 raffle winners this morning. There was a winner from each classroom. We will recognize them tomorrow during our assembly. We hope our students do not stop reading now that the challenge is over.
Do you want to raise strong, resilient kids? Resilience is having the ability to bounce back from challenges and difficult situations. We are not born resilient; we become resilient while facing and conquering life’s challenges. As educators at Green Meadow, part of our job is to allow space for our students to make mistakes, learn from them and use that knowledge to grow as learners. Our hope is this practice will help them become more resilient. Turns out that helping kids learn to fail at home may also be beneficial! Additional SEL resources can be found on the Green Meadow Social Emotional Learning Resources website.

The Maynard Education Foundation is hosting the Taste of Maynard again this year on Sunday, May 18, from 2:00 - 4:00 PM. This year we have a twist: its an outdoor event at Memorial Park. Restaurants will be serving yummy food around the park while music, games, raffles, and seating will be at the center. It will be a festive atmosphere and allow folks a chance to hang out while sampling food. This is a celebration of our adored Maynard community. Tickets can be purchased at: https://givebutter.com/7SJIpu This event is made possible by our sponsors, the restaurants, and folks like you who donate to MEF. The Taste is a rain or shine event. All funds raised will go towards the grant programs that support Maynard Public Schools. Tickets are considered a donation and are non-refundable. Thank you for your support!
