Metamora Grade School

The Instrumental Spring concert is being moved indoors due to the weather. The times will remain the same. Food trucks will be parked in front of the school - you will be able to purchase treats & bring into the gym! The bleachers will be out so you will not need to bring chairs.

The 4th graders enjoyed surprising Snyder Village residents with May Day baskets today.

The Spring Book Fair has come to an end. It was a very successful fair, with over 1500 books put into the hands of our students. I would like to thank the parents that volunteered at the fair. Whether it was setting up, helping with little kids during the fair or dipping ice cream during our family event, thank you. A special shout out to my 5th grade girls that came after school one night and helped set the fair up, you girls rock. But most of all I want to thank everyone who shopped at the fair, who sees the value of encouraging our students to read. It is a great joy to work with you all. Thank you, thank you, thanks you.
