Meadville Elementary School is proud to announce our Virginia Ambassadors of Kindness. They are role models of kindness, grace, empathy, dignity and acceptance to others.
Students in PreK-1st grade at Meadville Elementary participated in hands-on science activities directed by the Danville Science Center's Outreach program. PreK students investigated the five senses while Kindergarteners and first graders explored plants and sowed their own grass. This interactive experience was funded through a grant from the Halifax County Public Schools Education Foundation. The mini-grant was awarded to Mrs. Kathy Payne, Instructional Coach.

Meadville Elementary School second graders recently completed a non-fiction text and research unit learning about Chinese culture. Students in Mrs. Williams' and Ms. McLamb's classes celebrated Chinese New Year's Eve on Friday with a food tasting and STEAM project, where students were challenged to build a life-sized dancing dragon. Afterwards, students paraded through the halls showing off their creations.
