The PTA provides many programs and activities that directly benefit students to enhance their educational experiences at school. It wouldn’t be possible without resources (both money and volunteers). See below a list of our many events and activities.

  

(alphabetical by committee name)

 

ADOPT-A-BOOK
Chair: 


This fundraising program allows families to adopt a new book for our library. It’s a meaningful way to celebrate a friend or family member, as well as provide new books for our students. Next time you have a birthday, anniversary, graduation or other special event, consider this program to help commemorate the occasion.

ART IN ACTION
Chair: 


Art in Action is a visual arts program dedicated to developing children’s creativity, building their critical thinking skills, and exposing them to world cultures and history. Each lesson begins with analysis of a masterpiece from a major artist, and concludes with students creating their own hands on project. Throughout the curriculum kids are taught art vocabulary, elements, and techniques. Through frequent lessons in our own art room, they are exposed to a variety of media including chalk, pastels, paint, and clay. Many lessons also integrate art with the core subjects. Taught by an art instructor at Meadow Heights, with the support of a dedicated group of parent volunteers, this program is an enriching part of each child’s elementary education.

AUCTION
Chair: 


The annual auction is the largest fundraising event of the year! This fun online event allows a broader audience to participate, including family and friends from near and far. Last year's auction items ranged from a crocheted Baby Yoda to private storytime and cookies with their teacher to luxe golf at the HMB Ritz. It takes all skill sets to host such an event -- from donation procurement to artists/crafters to community outreach to logistics -- and being part of the committee is one of the best ways to get involved, meet people and form lasting relationships.

FIFTH GRADE PROMOTION

The Fifth Grade Promotion Committee hits the ground running each year with one goal in mind — to provide a memorable and special departure for our fifth graders moving up to middle school.

These funds go towards the promotion event itself, as well as other fun end of the year activities exclusive to the 5th graders.

The Mustang Stampede is the second largest fundraiser of the year, and probably the most anticipated event of the year for the students. Prior to the Stampede, each student gets a web page through which to raise money for their run. On the big day, all the kids wear their Stampede shirts and run around the track, trying to set a personal record. Families stand on the sidelines, cheering on their little Mustangs as they whiz by!
