At Meadowridge School, our mission isn't just a statement—it's a way of life. 

We embody our mission through every aspect of our school experience, from classroom learning and community outreach to environmental stewardship. Here, you’ll find dedicated teachers, staff members, students, and families working together to bring our mission to life each day. Through a range of initiatives and hands-on learning, students make meaningful changes and tackle social issues and environmental challenges head-on.

$1,300 raised for the Latin American Sea Turtle Foundation 
Students embarked on a service trip to Costa Rica to work with the Latin American Sea Turtle (LAST) Foundation. Before the trip, students hosted a fundraiser, bake sale, and a hand-made craft sale and raised $1,300 to support the foundation. During the trip, students got hands-on with their service during overnight watches, where students learned to record data and tag and collect eggs.

120+ hours spent volunteering at the Friends in Need Food Bank 
All Middle School students volunteered at the Friends In Need Food Bank by building produce bags for clients during weekly sessions.

Three trailers of warm winter clothes raised for Coats for Kids 
After a call for gently used winter clothes and household goods went out, Meadowridge families took action in a big way. This year’s Coats for Kids Drive gathered three truckloads of clothes and wares to be donated to local families.

300 pounds of non-perishable food donated to the Friends in Need Food Bank 
A Senior Council Food Drive collected 300 pounds of non-perishable food to donate to the Friends in Need Food Bank.

The Meadowridge Explorations Program combines service, outdoor education, and educational technology in hands-on, meaningful ways. 

Designed to develop an ethic of reciprocity, Explorations provides students time with their peers to steward, explore, and engage with the natural world.

Throughout the year, this includes volunteerism, stewardship, farming, and the practice of outdoor craft like spoon carving and weaving. The program culminates with an annual Farmers Market, which has students practice business and event planning, marketing, budgeting, salesmanship and aesthetics to plan the event and market their product, carnival game, or performance.

Service
Service comes from a place of humility and open-mindedness in which we not only support each other, but learn from others.
