Green Meadow Staff would like to invite all students in grades 1 - 3 and their parents to attend a special Meet & Greet event at Green Meadow School on August 30, 2022 from 2:00 - 2:30 PM.

Students in Kindergarten and their parents are invited to attend their own Meet & Greet event on September 1, 2022 from 2:25 - 2:45 PM.
