Congratulations, Mrs. Ganster!
This past Saturday, our very own Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Ganster, graduated with her Master of Education—and we couldn’t be more proud! Her dedication to her students and passion for learning inspire us all.
To make this milestone even more special, Mrs. Ganster wore a graduation stole covered with the fingerprints of her students—a heartfelt reminder of the lives she touches every day.
In the photos below, you’ll see:
• Her students from last year
• A fun recreation of that photo this year
• And her current students helping celebrate during our Parade of Graduates
Way to go, Mrs. Ganster! Your Meadow View family is cheering you on!






Way to go, Reader Leaders!!

🌟🍎 Happy School Lunch Hero Day! 🍎🌟
Today we shine a big, bright spotlight on our incredible Child Nutrition Program (CNP) staff at Meadow View Elementary! 🎉
Each and every day, our amazing CNP team goes above and beyond to serve healthy, delicious meals with a warm smile and a kind heart. 🥗🍔🍎 From early mornings in the kitchen to making sure every student feels seen and cared for, they are a vital part of what makes Meadow View such a special place.
Our students are fueled for learning, growing, and succeeding because of the hard work, love, and dedication poured into every meal. 💚 Their service might happen behind the scenes, but the impact is front and center every single day!
We are so grateful for your commitment, compassion, and cheerful spirits. You are true heroes — not just today, but every day. 🌟
Please join us in thanking our CNP superheroes!


When it’s May 1st and Mrs. Thrasher is on a mission to make the whole school laugh…
Because nothing says “May is here” like a little *NSYNC on every bulletin board.


Students have been working on making multiplication equations using dot cards with Interventionist, Mrs. Stone. They were so excited to start learning multiplication! ✖️➗➕








🌟 Happy National Principals Day! 🌟
Today, we celebrate our incredible leader, Mrs. Brakefield! 💙🍎 She is more than just a principal—she is the heart of Meadow View Elementary. Mrs. Brakefield goes above and beyond to make every student feel important, valued, and loved. She greets each child with a smile, encourages them to dream big, and creates a school environment where everyone feels like family.
Her dedication, kindness, and passion for education make a difference in the lives of our students and staff every single day. We are beyond grateful for her leadership and the way she makes Meadow View a place where children thrive!






Mrs. Paracca's 1st grade class had a special guest reader today! Jannat was in Mrs. Paracca's class last year and came back to read to her current class 🥰


Mrs. Williams’ 1st grade class published their very own book called “The Great First Grade Takeover”. Today, they had a surprise book publishing party in the library and family and friends got to surprise them! They got to read the page they wrote to everyone! 📚📖











We’re bursting with pride for Ms. Olivia Cushing, 3rd grade teacher at Meadow View Elementary, who was named Teacher of the Year and honored today at the Shelby County Chamber’s Student & Educator of the Year Luncheon!

Her passion for teaching, creative classroom energy, and genuine love for her students make her so deserving of this honor. Congratulations, Ms. Cushing!
