Residual Pride

I haven't been the principal of Meadowthorpe Elementary School since 1989, or Cassidy School since 2004, but I'm still happy when I see "my" students doing well.

Meadowthorpe tops Region 20

Congratulations to Meadowthorpe Elementary School, which captured first-place honors in the Governor’s Cup regional competition.

The Governor’s Cup, the state’s premier academic event, was founded in 1986 as a way to promote, recognize and reward outstanding achievement.

In the elementary division (grade 5 and below), students take part in a district and regional competition. The March 20-22 regional finals included Quick Recall and Future Problem Solving team contests and individual assessments in six subject areas.
