Meadow Brook Mustangs,
Welcome to the 2026-2027 school year!
Unfortunately, my loyal phoenix, Fawkes, isn't feeling his best, so this letter had to be delivered the Muggle way instead of by magical post.✨
Before our adventure begins, please take a few minutes to read the Parents & Students Welcome Back Letter so you'll be ready for the exciting journey ahead.
We can't wait to welcome you to Open House on Monday, August 17, from 3:30-5:30 PM, and then officially begin our magical school year on the first day of school, Tuesday, August 18!
See you soon, Mustangs! The magic is YOU! ⚡
With magic and gratitude,
"Dumbles"
Also known as Principal Balli
🎃 SPOOKTACULAR NEWS!
October is here, and our school lunch menu has gone SPOOKY! 🕸️
🌭 THE MUMMY DOGS ARE BACK! 🌭
These frightfully delicious favorites are crawling back into your school lunchroom on Tuesday, October 6!
BEWARE! They only rise ONCE A YEAR, so don’t let this delicious opportunity disappear into the night!
But wait… there’s MORE! We’ve got some frightfully good, October-only treats creeping onto our menu! 👀 STAY TUNED… IF YOU DARE! 🎃👻
For their Day of Caring, United Way chose to paint some fun new games on our blacktop. Students loved watching them paint and have been enjoying the new games. Thank you, United Way!
The Speech team has renewed “At Home Articulation” for this school year! 🎮🗣️
This program allows speech students to practice their goals at home while playing games of their choice. It can be accessed on a phone, tablet, or computer, and parents can easily send questions to our team at the end of a session.
Consistent home practice is key to mastering and generalizing speech sounds. Because the activities are short, fun, and engaging, they keep kids focused without the frustration.
If your student works on speech sounds but doesn't have an account yet, please contact one of our SLPs so we can get you set up!
One more chance to enjoy fresh, local Harward Farms corn with school lunch! 🌽 It’s on the menu Wednesday, so don’t miss out!
Mrs. Neilson's classes sure love being great Kinder Kids!
Mrs. Wright's class is working hard at math centers! We love using manipulatives, number lines, and pictures to make math fun, hands-on, and easier to understand.
After all that hard work, we take a movement break! One of our class favorites is Disney-inspired yoga! It's a fun way to get our bodies moving, relax, and get ready to learn.
We're working hard, having fun, and learning every day!

Learning Along the Provo River Trail!
Our third graders had such a great time on our nature walk along the Provo River Trail from Bridal Veil Falls to Vivian Park! The rain stopped at just the perfect time, and we were able to enjoy the beautiful scenery and spend some time exploring nature together. As we walked, students looked for and collected examples of living and non-living things that we brought back to school to observe more closely. It was such a fun day of learning, exploring, and enjoying the outdoors together!

/k/ is the name of the game in first grade! 🎉 We practiced the /k/ sound, learned the letters that spell it, and did a class sort to show what we know. These kiddos did GREAT! Love watching their reading skills grow! 📚
In speech, we love incorporating fun books with paired language activities. Last week, we read the book "Stuck" and talked about various object's real functions versus what they were incorrectly used for in the book.

Last week our 3rd graders celebrated the end of our fist CKLA unit, The Wind in the Willows! 📚 We enjoyed eating themed snacks while we got to watch the movie! Then we put our thinking skills to work as we used a Venn diagram to compare and contrast the book and the movie. It was such a fun way to celebrate all of our learning and to bring this fun story to life! 🐸🦡🚗
In 4th grade, we’ve been working with Mrs. Brockbank and using castanets to help us remember those important capital letters and periods in our food memory narratives! When we go too long without a period, the castanets stay quiet—so we’re learning that good editing means breaking our writing into clear, complete sentences! ✨
We are LOVING having Mrs. Brockbank here and all the fun she brings to our learning! 💚

📚✨ Once upon a time in Mrs. Pickering’s first-grade classroom…
Our young readers have been diving into the wonderful world of folk tales and fables! 🦊🐢 From clever characters to important lessons, students put their learning to work by using vocabulary words from our stories and fables unit. They showed what they knew and remembered by writing words or drawing pictures to share their understanding.
We’re growing our vocabulary, building our comprehension, and becoming storytellers one fable at a time! 🌟📖

Second grade just wrapped up our unit learning all about fairy tales and tall tales! Students showed what they learned by creating posters featuring characters, settings, and some larger-than-life exaggerations. We had so much fun bringing these stories to life!
We know our Mustangs are just as excited for this 3-day weekend as we are! Thank you for a fantastic first couple of weeks—we're so proud of your hard work. Have a safe and wonderful long weekend! See you on Tuesday! 💚💙
Four Square, Anyone?
Our 5th graders have had a blast learning and practicing all kinds of recess games! First up: Four Square. Next up: soccer!
🌟 8C of the Month: CONNECTION! 🌟
This month, we’re focusing on Connection—building positive relationships, making others feel seen and valued, and creating a school community where everyone feels like they belong. Let’s make connection a priority all month long!
"I show connection by saying good job to others!" -Makenna
"I show connection by being nice to people who are my friend and who are not" -Elias

Catch the Meadow Brook speech team flying through the hallways with their brand-new rolling desks!
This setup allows our speech pathologists to bring all their materials directly to students throughout the school. Each student participates in an innovative 5-minute therapy program—minimizing time away from the classroom while increasing the frequency of their sessions.
This approach offers more individualized attention and maximum practice to help students reach their communication goals. It’s going to be an amazing year in speech!
