The Meadow Message

Weekly News from Wolf Meadow

A Message from the Admin Team

We are wrapping up our beginning-of-year assessments and are so proud of how hard our students have worked! In P2, our focus has been on kindness—students came together to create a Kindness Chain, linking each act of kindness into a growing reminder of how we can make our school community stronger when we care for one another. 💚

A big thank you to all of our families who joined us for Curriculum Night—we loved seeing you and sharing the great things happening at Wolf Meadow!

If you missed Curriculum Night, you can view the grade level presentations that were shared by clicking HERE.

Subaru Loves Learning

Last week, Subaru of Concord surprised some of our staff members with a special delivery! They presented a box filled with the most requested classroom supplies along with a $500 check for each of these teachers to purchase items they would love to have for their classrooms.

We are so grateful for their generosity and proud to have such a wonderful partnership supporting our Wolf Meadow students and staff!

Leader of the Pack

Each month we celebrate a teacher who goes above and beyond for their students and our school community. This month, we are proud to recognize Mrs. Johnson, second grade teacher, as our Leader of the Pack! Mrs. Johnson has shown incredible dedication in sharing with her team how she is implementing the new Arts and Letters curriculum. She has been a fantastic teammate and an outstanding teacher to her second-grade students. Congratulations, Mrs. Johnson!

Open-Mindedness

Next week, our school will focus on the character strength of Open-Mindedness. This means being willing to consider new ideas and try new things. It involves looking at situations from all sides and not jumping to conclusions.

Open-mindedness is about seeking out and fairly weighing evidence, even if it goes against our own opinions or goals. Open-minded people listen to different viewpoints, including those that are less popular. They are often good listeners and provide balanced advice, which makes them great friends and confidants. This strength helps individuals form meaningful and lasting relationships.

To practice and encourage the character strength of open-mindedness at home, please visit The Positivity Project’s mobile-friendly P2 for Families (available in English and Spanish), where you will watch a video together and discuss a quote and three questions. Below are links to this week’s P2 for Families lessons. Click on the grade level that best meets your child’s needs.

Box Tops for Education

Welcome back to a new school year! My name is Norma Robinson and I'm our school's Box Tops for Education Coordinator. Box Tops for Education is a program that gives money to schools for their family’s participation just by purchasing products and scanning the receipt in the Box Tops App.

Our 2025-2026 goal is $500.00

Here's how you can help:

Download the Box Tops App today and start scanning – I promise, it is a super easy task to get used to. Just download the mobile app using the QR Code you see. Register, use Referral Code WQRA61F6, and select 386481 Wolf Meadow Elementary School as your supporting school.

BUY Box Tops products, SCAN your receipt with the Box Tops app within 14 days of purchase and EARN cash with every Box Tops product you buy. Each time you shop (mostly groceries), scan your receipt and if you’ve purchased any participating products, the app will automatically add Box Tops to our school’s earnings AND you can track our school’s progress in real time.

Remember to SPREAD THE WORD to family, friends, co-workers, & neighbors to SIGN UP for the Box Tops app, use Referral Code WQRA61F6, and SCAN those grocery receipts.

Check the app for bonuses offered. You'll earn Bonus Box Tops for our school when you take advantage of any of the Bonus Offers you see in the app! If you shop online & get an email receipt, just forward your e-receipt to receipts@boxtops4education.com thru the app and you will get credit.

Turn on notifications in your Box Tops app to get scan reminders and stay updated on special offers, new products, and opportunities to earn for our school. Go to your Communications Settings by tapping on the person icon in the upper-right corner of the app.

Let's work together to give our students what they need to succeed — and see how much we can earn this year!
