Beat the MEAP Week

It’s everyone’s favorite time of year again….MEAP time. The MEAP starts on Tuesday, October 8th and goes through Wednesday, October 16th. Your help in making sure students are well rested, feed, in school and on time during the MEAP window is greatly appreciated. One thing that we started last year that I believe helped was a “Beat the MEAP” week leading up to the MEAP. It helps the kids get focused while adding in a little fun. We run it like a Spirit Week with each day having a theme that students can earn spirit tickets. Students can use those tickets to put themselves into a drawing to compete in some activities during our MEAP assembly. Here are the themes: Monday (September 30th) is Flip Flop Day, Tuesday is Sports Fan Day, Wednesday is Crazy Hair Day (please apply the color at home), Thursday is Anything But Jeans Day (Dress Code applies), Friday is Hat Day and Monday, October 7th is Saints Pride Day (wear Saints gear). Our hope is that by having some fun we’ll be able to draw a little bit of attention and focus to the test. May the force be with us.
