Everyone needs a little extra warmth this time of year! ❄️
Although we have an e-learning day today, we know there are still many chilly days ahead.
We are so grateful for our hardworking team members who are outside every morning and afternoon, making sure our students enter and exit the building safely no matter how cold it gets. To help keep them warm, we will be collecting Hot Hands or any type of hand warmers for staff members who have bus or other outdoor duties.
If you are able to help, please drop donations off in the main office or send them to school with your Viking. We truly appreciate the continued support from our Meister family as we count down the days until warmer weather! 💚

💚 Supporting the Lowe Family 💚
Dear Meister Families,
We are reaching out with heavy hearts to share that one of our Meister families, the Lowe family, recently experienced a devastating house fire. Thankfully, everyone is safe — but they lost nearly everything in the fire.
In true Meister spirit, we want to come together to support this wonderful family during such a difficult time. Our school community has always shown incredible kindness and generosity, and we know that together, we can make a difference for them.
Their child is a 5th grade student here at Meister, and they are in need of clothing (size 10–12) as well as household essentials. If you’d like to help, we are accepting both monetary donations and clothing items. Clothing items should be new or gently used.
Donations can be dropped off in the Meister office during school hours. Every contribution — big or small — will go directly to the Lowe family as they work to rebuild and recover.
Thank you for your compassion, kindness, and continued support for our Meister community.
With gratitude,
Kelli A. Panthi
