Leadership Spirit Days   

June 20 – Color Palooza Day 

It’s time to turn up the color! On Thursday, June 20, each homeroom will represent their chosen color by dressing from head to toe in it - staff included! Whether it’s red, blue, neon green, or hot pink, the goal is full participation and full-on fun. That means shirts, pants, socks, hats, accessories—go all in! The more, the better. Let’s fill the school with color! 

June 25 - Twin or Squad Day   

Grab a friend—or your whole crew—and coordinate your outfits! On Twin/Squad Day, students (and staff!) can dress alike in matching outfits, themed costumes, or coordinated colors. Whether you’re a dynamic duo or a full squad, it’s all about teamwork, creativity, and showing off your friendship in style!  

IMPORTANT REMINDERS   

Year-End Library Procedures 

As we approach the end of the school year, please take note of the following important dates and reminders regarding library books: 

Book Returns: 

• Students can return library books at any time, Monday to Friday, using the self-return machine. 
• Library periods will pause starting this week (June 9). This gives students two full weeks to return all library items. 

To-Do List for Students: 

• Check lockers / backpacks / home thoroughly for any library books that may have been forgotten. 
• If you can’t find a book, please see Ms. Harris to review your library account. 

Important Date: 

• June 23 – Outstanding items will be charged to student SchoolCash account. 

Thanks for taking care of your returns and helping us wrap up the year smoothly! 

Staying Safe and Focused 

With summer heating up, we know students are feeling the shift in energy. It’s an exciting time, but we’re reminding everyone to stay engaged and finish the year strong.  

Please also remember: No water toys at school 

Even if they seem harmless, water toys can: 

• Distract from learning and interrupt the respectful tone we work hard to maintain. 
• Pose safety hazards - spilled water can lead to slips and falls, and some items may cause confusion or concern. 

Thanks for doing your part to keep Meadowbrook safe, calm, and focused right to the finish line.
