Meadow Ridge's new Ga Ga Pit

Note from Principal Keffeler
Hello Meadow Ridge Families,

 

We are super excited about the Cardinal Crush Fun Run tomorrow! Thank you for your generous donations. As I type this, we are $20,000 away from our goal of $55,000. Many of you have also used your company's employee match program, which essentially doubles your donation. We Are Meadow Ridge!

 

Good neighbors: During the planning meetings for building Meadow Ridge, we decided that one of our guiding principles was to be a good neighbor to homes that would soon be built around us. Plymouth Police Officer Elia stopped in on Wednesday (he's also our DARE officer), and asked me to relay some information to parents who are using the subdivision to our south as a drop off spot for students in the morning. There have been officers observing the drop offs, as some home owners have complained about speeding and congestion in the area around the sidewalk that connects to our property. Officer Elia is requesting that drivers use the school's upper lot to drop off children in the morning. If drop offs continue in the subdivision, he asks that drivers observe posted speed limits, not block mailboxes, driveways, or wait and watch your child walk to the building. We want to continue to be good neighbors, and we need your cooperation to do that.

 

Thank you,

 

Karen
