Hello Meadville students and families!
I am excited to share with you that I’ve accepted the American Heart Association’s Principal’s Challenge. I’ve committed to:
being prepared to save a life by learning Hands-Only CPR
learning how to take care of my heart and brain
and raising funds to help kids born with special hearts.
I’m really excited and want every one of our staff, students and families to join me. You can by completing Finn’s Mission on the AHA Schools App or heart.org/schools.
Learning how to save a life, take care of our hearts and brains and help kids with special hearts all at the same time! How does that sound?
I am so excited for us all to help create a community of lifesavers!
Let’s do this, Meadville!
Love,
Mrs. Franco

She and Coach Martin led the kids in cheers and learned about how to be a Heart Hero for their community. Meadville will be doing their KHC event this year in memory of Chester Farmer, a bus driver for Meadville who passed away this school year.

Students in Mrs. Peer’s classes at Meadville Elementary used their engineering skills and knowledge of circuits to design a Bristle Bot. In this activity, students attached a vibrating motor to a toothbrush head and wired the motor to the battery in order to activate the Bristle Bot. The purchase of STEM materials was funded through a Mini-Grant from the Halifax County Public Schools Education Foundation. The Mini-Grant was awarded to Mrs. Susan Elliott, Elementary ITRT, for the project titled: Getting Bristley.
Ms. McLamb's 2nd grade class participated in a fun procedural text assignment on how to plant a flower!
