Kindergarteners and first graders at Meadville Elementary were able to watch ladybugs and caterpillars grow and change. They were fascinated by the metamorphosis that these animals go through. They were excited to let them go on our school grounds as well. This activity was possible with a minigrant from Halifax County Public Schools Education Foundation.

On May 1, 2026, Meadville Elementary school held its annual Field Day. Thanks to Sentara and Hitachi Energy, who both donated multiple cases of water, the school had enough water for each student and staff member to be hydrated! There was even enough for parents who needed water.
Pictured here are the High School helpers from Katie Martin's class as well as several softball and volleyball players and former Meadville Students who came to Field day to help lead stations.

🚲 Balance Screens with Outdoor Fun 🚲
As the weather warms up, it’s the perfect time to step away from screens and head outdoors! Encourage your child to find a healthy balance between technology and real-world play. Too much screen time can lead to tired eyes, restlessness, and less creativity—while fresh air, sunshine, and movement recharge both body and mind.
✨ Tech Tip:
Set a simple family rule: for every 30 minutes on a device, spend 30 minutes outside or doing a hands-on activity. Whether it’s riding bikes, drawing with sidewalk chalk, playing catch, or building something creative, this balance helps kids stay active and prevents technology from taking over their free time.
💡 Pro Tip:
Make it fun with a Family Balance Challenge! Track screen time and outdoor/creative time together. Celebrate when you hit your weekly goals with a special treat—like an ice cream night, picnic, or evening bike ride.
🌳 Remember:
Technology is a great tool, but real life happens off the screen. Finding time to unplug helps kids refocus, recharge, and make lasting memories outdoors! 🌞

🌸 Spring Clean Your Screens & Check-In Online 🌸
Spring is the perfect time to tidy up your child’s digital world! Just like cleaning a room keeps it healthy and fun, checking in on their online spaces keeps them safe and balanced.
✨ Tech Tip:
Take a few minutes each week to review your child’s apps, websites, and online conversations. Ask who they interact with and which apps they enjoy most. These quick check-ins help you spot issues early and encourage open, positive talk about responsible tech use.
🧹 Family Challenge:
Pick one day this month to “spring clean” together—delete unused apps, update passwords, and refresh privacy settings.
💻 Remember:
A little digital cleaning now helps your child’s online world stay safe, organized, and positive all year long! 🌼

On Thursday, March 26, 2026, fifth-grade students from each of our elementary schools and members of the Halifax County Middle School chorus joined together to present the Halifax County Public Schools Music Showcase at the high school. Our talented students performed several selections to show how we are “United Through Music” for Music in Our Schools Month. This was possible due to the collaboration of our elementary, middle, and high school music teachers.

💫Mrs. Martin’s PreK students LOVE learning centers!! This week they are playing a new game, Don’t Rock the Croc 🐊, working on sorting, using PlayDoh to create letters of the alphabet, and putting together various puzzles 🧩.
Mrs. Hupp’s class enjoyed using stem cubes to make different heart words and CVC words during center time. These were purchased with mini grant funds from the Halifax County Schools Education Foundation.
Meadville Elementary will host a Panther Picnic on April 3, 2026. During this time, students will rotate through fun math stations set up outside.

All visitors must have an approved visitor form on file.
Dear Families,
Get ready—the Scholastic Discovery Fair is coming to our school! This STEAM-powered Book Fair is a great opportunity to get your child excited about science, technology, art, nature, and more with new books and kits they’ll dive into again and again. Just with our regular Fall Book Fair, the easiest way to shop the Fair is by creating a Book Fair eWallet. It’s easy to set up and easy for others to add funds. You can scan the QR code on the flyer that was sent home to do that. If you do not want to create an e-wallet, you can still shop with cash, check, or a credit/debit card.
Here’s everything else you need to know about the Discovery Fair:
Date: April 3rd during our Panther Picnic
Location: Library
More than ever, we need to get students reading and engaging in STEAM. Studies prove that children with more books at home have higher-level reading skills and attain more years of education overall.
Have fun discovering!
